Red Sox trade
C BOS Blake Swihart $300,000 (2020) SP TEX Martin Perez $300,000 (2018)
to Rockies for
OF COL Charlie Blackmon $300,000 (2017)
I need OF help and am up against the cap. Blackmon gives me cheap production for the next two seasons. I hate giving up Swihart (will always be thankful for the GS in last year's WS against these same Rockies) but I have depth at C with Grandal. Swihart is my most marketable piece as a young C with 5 years of cost control. Martin Perez is a rotation arm with 3 years of cost control.
My window is the next two years to defend my title, so I am OK giving up longer term assets.

Rockies Accept
I had a need at C and SP so both Swihart and Perez should contribute; Blackmon's contributions will be missed but the additional controllable years are a plus
