TEX/CHW

[Chris (White Sox)]

Texas trades:

OF-Lewis Brinson
OF-Nomar Mazara
1B-Ronald Guzman
SP-Lucas Sims

White Sox trade:

Chris Sale (9.44M 2017++)


TEX +9.44M 2017++
CHW -9.44M 

It was tough to trade Sale due to him being one of the best young pitchers in baseball.  But the team I inherited, or what Kenny Williams has "built", has little to no depth or talent.  So I do this trade to clear some salary for free agents I plan on pursuing.  I also add 4 young, high upside prospects to my farm which was arguably one of the worst in baseball.

Rangers to confirm

[Brandon (Rangers)]

Rangers accept. Despite my sell-off, it's not my intention to suck next year. Sale becomes a relatively cheap and long term anchor for my rotation. I give a ton of ceiling but also hand off a lot of risk. Even after this trade I still have the resources to fill out my bullpen and lineup with quality guys before the season starts.

Approve good get rangers

[Troy (Cubs) (LM)]

Flat out steal for Texas.

As far as I'm concerned, the trade was Lucas Sims and a bunch of overhyped below average prospects. Brinson, Guzman, and Mazara have so called "star" potential, or could end up never reaching the bigs. Brinson isn't anything to sneeze at with his power, but I think Texas made out real good here.

Approve

[Matt (Angels)]

It's not vetoable ...but its a huge win for Texas. Approve.
