Cubs Trade
2B Anthony Rendon (1.8M 2014+) (ARB 2018)
Pirates Trade
P Jameson Taillon (PIT) (Prospect) 2014 1st Round Pick (PIT)
+/- 1.8M
Accept.
I really like Rendon, but I am not ready to compete, and I do have Alcantara, La Stella, and Betts at 2B in the minors that I am comfortable taking a chance on. I love Taillon and think he will be a great 1-2 punch with Cole in Pittsburgh. The 1st Rounder made me pull the triggers, as the Reds were my 2nd suitor for Rendon.
