Rays/Dbacks Trade

[Alex (Former Rays GM)]

Rays trade:

Lance Lynn $21m 2021-2023 (75% coverage in 2021)
6th rounder

Dbacks trade:

Alec Bottinger (spec)
Alexander Ramirez (spec)
Chris Rodriguez (spec)
Christian Santana (spec)
4th rounder

Rays accept. Lance Lynn is very good but he's getting up there in years and he's on a pricey contract, so I want to sell high. I'm big into the prospects I'm getting in return, particularly Rodriguez. Thanks to D'backs GM (Kyle) for the negotiations!

Accept

As stated before I needed SP. I gave up a good amount of upside but it’s time to compete. Thanks Alex for the good trade talks.

I was going to say this isn't much to give up for how Lynn has been pitching... but I forgot he's owed $21m for two more seasons. Arizona shoulders a lot of the long term risk in the trade. Approve.
