[Athletics GM (Jared)]

Oakland sends:
Chad Pinder, MI (OAK) - $2,300,000 arbitration est
Sean Manaea, SP (OAK) - $5,300,000 arbitration est
Lou Trivino, RP (OAK) - protected
Jake Diekman, RP (OAK) - $4,000,000; 21: $4,000,000 option

to Philly for:
Spencer Howard, SP (PHI) - protected
Bryson Stott, MI (PHI) - MiLB
Adonis Medina, SP (PHI) - MiLB

Howard was a target for me as soon as I heard he was available. I gave up some valuable pieces, but nothing that will be around when my rebuild is complete. Tony is the man with the plan and he's likely to confirm.

Smooth talks with Jared. Giving up some good young trim here but getting back areas to help me contend in the near term.
