[Robbie (Padres)]

Padres trade:
LHP Cory Luebke $6.44M 2015++
RHP Tyson Ross $0.5M (Pre-ARB)
OF Reymond Fuentes (prospect)

Rangers trade:
RHP Tyler Glasnow (prospect)
C Tony Sanchez (prospect)
2B Ryan Rua (prospect)
RHP Roman Mendez (prospect)


Padres accept. These are three guys I wasn't particularly looking to shop, as they are all young talents that will contribute cheaply at the MLB level for the next 4-5 years. However, the return Texas offered was very good and the timelines on these four guys matches up well with the rest of my system to start contributing in 2015/2016.

Going to miss Ross and Fuentes (Luebke's elbow, not so much), but I believe Glasnow fits right in the mold of successful Pirates prep pitchers (Cole, Taillon, Kingham), and Rua has serious power. My catching combo of Sanchez and Hundley will get me solid production from two guys who will be sharing catching time. And if Mendez bounces back from his elbow surgery (always iffy) he could be a solid, hard-throwing, back-of-the-rotation type guy.

Go 2016 Padres!

[Brandon (Rangers)]

Rangers accept. ross was great in the rotation for the final 3 months, and Luebke should be ready to start the '14 season this spring. Steals are going to be hard to come by with how I've built my roster, so Fuentes should help that issue out.

[Troy (Cubs) (LM)]

Approved. Surprised Texas would give up Glasnow in this deal.
