A's Trade: OF Bryan Reynolds (PIT) - $300,000 (2024) SS Wenceel Perez (DET) - Prospect
Cap Dumps: 2B Brett Lawrie - $4,500,000 (2020) **PAID MINORS** RP Fernando Salas - $1,600,000 (2020) **PAID MINORS** OF Odubel Herrera - $300,000 (2020) **PAID MINORS**
Marlins Trade: OF Giancarlo Stanton [NYY] - $11,000,000 (2016 NTC)(2020) ((Re-Sign))
Its the end of an era for me. I had Stanton back to when he still went by Mike. He has been part of my team since 2011 back when this team was called the Florida Marlins meaning this was year #9 of our partnership. We have been thru some ups and downs. But all good things eventually come to an end.
When healthy Stanton is one of the best hitters in the game. Early on in 2020 he was CARRYING me but then he got hurt which is a reoccurring issue for him over his career. So we come to 2020 and I have a choice to make do I re-sign him for a 2nd time or do I see about acquiring some assets for him to go into the future.
My OF has been put together with hopes and dreams lately as I was down to 2 healthy/active OFers in AJ Pollock and Alex Verdugo with Stanton and Austin Hays on IL plus Oscar Mercado and Mallex Smith in "minors". Somehow though as we sit here going into the final week of the regular season I find myself in 1st place in the NL East. Reynold has had a tough year but he has lately shown some flashes of maybe coming out of it hopefully and will fit in as my 3rd OFer. Wenceel Perez is #8 DET (45) by FG is just 20 years old.
To make the money work I took on expiring deals in Lawrie, Salas and Herrera.
I accept.

Approval #3
The A's receive significant Cap-relief, along with gimpee McGee (aka G-man Stanton). The Marlins obtain a 21 year old shortstop prospect, in Wenceel Perez. He is listed as the Tiger's #14 prospect by Baseball America. They also receive 24 year old PIT OF Bryan Reynolds, who struggling this short-season (many hitter are), but Reynolds owns a career .291BA and .359OBP. This looks like a fair deal to me.
