Cole Hamels SP
2021 - 11.3M
2022 - TO

Vince Velasquez SP/RP
Year 6 of 7 A Arb 6.1M

Joe Panik 2B
Year 7 of 7 A Arb 5.9M


To the Mariners in exchange for:

Luis Medina OF
Spec

Albert Abreu P
Spec


I’m trading away guys on expiring contracts except for VV. VV has had some starts this year but I think next year he’ll be a RP. The rest of the guys won’t be helping my team next year and Phil taking on the cap makes this a worthwhile trade so I can possible make another deal or two. The two specs I’m getting also have potential and Abreu may be up this year or next in the bullpen.

[Mariners GM (Phil)]

Mariners accept, upgrade the bullpen a bit and get a guy to tag this offseason in Jansen, VV still has some control so that's nice the specs are replaceable

[Astros GM (Will)]

Approve - I hate it as an Astros owner

[Rockies GM (Alex)]

Approve (2-0). Seattle making a big move. Get all those talented players out of the NL West.

[Guardians GM (Thomas)]

Approve.

[Dodgers GM (Scott)]

Approve
