TB sends: Joey Wendle TB (CI/MI) 21: $2M; 22-23: ARB Mike Brosseau TB (CI/MI) 21: $0.6M, 22: $0.75M; 23-25: ARB
LAA sends: Jared Walsh LAA (CI) 21: $0.6M, 22: $0.75M; 23-25: ARB Jack Kochanowicz LAA (P) standard MiLB
TB logic: I traded away Walsh for an empty return in my home league at the beginning of the 2020 sprint season, and have regretted it ever since. In the span of two months, he went from a bench to a legit starting power hitter. I am not sure how legit his 2020 campaign was, but I would like to find out for myself. Assuming he gets a starting job he would be a good fit for my club. Brosseau and Wendle are very fine players, but given their playing time situation, I feel that it is worth the gamble to move them here. I also like Kochanowicz - hopefully he will be a rare pitching development success for the Angels.
Nice working with Todd on this deal; thanks for the smooth discussion.

Angels confirm.
If Walsh ends up being for real, I lose this trade. I'm not confident in that, which was why he was on the block. But either way, Wendle and Brosseau are both excellent part-time bats. I can rotate them through whenever they start to give me full-time production.
