DBacks/Cubs Trade

[D'backs GM (Kyle)]

Diamondbacks agree to trade:

Josiah Gray, SP:
Spec

Zac Lowther, SP:
Spec

Emilio Vargas, SP:
Spec

2020 Amateur Draft pick 1.12
2020 Amateur Draft pick 1.24


to the Cubs in exchange for:

Jacob deGrom, SP:
B arb year 7 of 7 - 8.5M

Edwin Diaz, RP:
A arb year 5 of 7 - 6.1M

75% cap coverage in 2020 for both deGrom and Diaz.


I'm looking to continue to make my team player by using the young assets I have. Giving up great talents like Gray, Lowther, and Vargas wasn't easy but it's hard to pass on a deal involving a Cy Young SP even if I'm going to lose him to FA after one season. Nice dealing with you Cubs GM (Tanner) and I'm glad we finally get to post this trade.

Cubs accept. As everyone knows I’m rebuilding and Degrom is gone after this season anyways so I wanted to capitalize on that, and I love my haul. Diaz stunk and I like the value for him in the deal as well. Gray is a future stud who I think has a bright future and I like the potential in the other two arms as well, and the two first round picks on top of that as well. Which equates to five future Hall or famers going the Cubs way. Good luck next season D'backs GM (Kyle) and please beat the Rockies and Giants
