To Toronto:
SP Alexi Ogando (ARB)
RP Andrew Bailey (0.5M)
To Boston:
RP Casey Janssen (4M 2014)
RP Joe Thatcher (ARB)
Its tough trading Janssen since he's been one of the more consistent relievers in baseball over the last 4-5 years and has put up excellent peripherals, especially trading him to a division rival is tough. Though I really like Ogando, and I feel like when healthy he gives me a solid mid-rotation arm or he might be a candidate to replace Nathan possibly. He's under control until 2017 which is a huge plus and factored largely into my decision. Thatcher is expendable since I have Loup and Cecil on board already. As for Bailey, I'm betting he signs on cheap with an NL team and might work his way into potential saves at some point. He seems like a typical Rays signing * cross fingers.
