Blue Jays Trade: Max Fried TOR Pitching (Prospect) Blue Jays 1st round FY Player Draft Pick #3
Braves Trade: Chris Tillman SP BAL 9,000,000 (2018) A. J. Cole SP WAS 300,000 (2022) (47.2 ML IP) Braves 3rd Round FYP Draft Pick # 6
Braves really wanted to acquire Fried who is a promising prospect offered Cole for him, but the Blue Jays also wanted to a good starting pitcher to add to their young starting staff so Tillman was added plus Cole to beef up the rotation. The Blue Jays offer the Braves their first round pick to acquire Tillman and Cole and the Braves agreed to include their third round pick.
The Blue Jays are hoping adding Tillman and Cole to their team will help them this year and next. Plus the Blue Jays have plenty of cap room to absorb Tillman's contract. While the Braves add another young arm to their minor league system.

Confirmed. The stockpiling of arms for the future (not to mention Braves' prospects. LOL) continues. I've long been a believer in Fried, and while he's a gamble, adding the Jays' #3 overall pick this summer helps mitigate some of that risk.
Thanks Tony - and good luck!!!
