Reds/Rockies Trade

[Reds GM (Josh)]

Reds Trade:
Jose Altuve (HOU-2B)
19: $35M (75% Covered)
20: $35M (50% Covered)
4th Round Pick (CIN)

Rockies Trade:
Dominic Smith (NYM) 19: $0.8M (3 of 7)
Alex Kirilloff (MIN-OF) 19: $0.3M
Luiz Gohara (ATL-P) 19: $0.3M
DJ Peters (LAD) 19: $0.3M

Reds accept. With the NL continuing to strengthen and the Reds missing the playoffs last season, it was time to make a change and build towards the future. Kirilloff and Gohara are solid pieces for the Reds to pair with Mejia to build towards the future of this franchise. Good deal, Alex and go win it with Altuve!

[Rockies GM (Alex)]

Rockies confirm. As much fun as to own top prospects like Kiriloff, I feel like I need to capitalize on my wealth of pitching while I have it. Jose Altuve had a down season last year, but I don't doubt he'll be one of the top bats in the league again in 2019. Still just 28. There are few players that have the potential for 700 point seasons, which can really carry an offense. Hoping 2019 is the third title for the Colorado Rockies.

[Tigers GM (Jon)]

Nice trade for each side. Definitely agree that this will help round out lineup to support your depth at SP. Approve.

[Astros GM (Will)]

Approve. Every time I see a pick go back in a prospect for superstar package, I die a little on the inside. Alex picked Josh's back pocket while they shook hands on this. Go Cubs.

[Marlins GM (Travis)]

Look like a dick if you stand firm without the pick in the deal. Talking from experience. Approve.
