TB and CHW Trade

[Rays GM (Bailey)]

CHW sends:
Juan Yepez, CI (STL) - Prospect
2023 3rd Round Pick CHW

TB sends:
Tanner Scott, RP (BAL) - 22: $1M; 23-24: ARB
Alejandro Pie, MI (TB) - Prospect

TB Logic:
I saw Jason’s off-season wishlist post and reached out. I have a solid amount of RPs so we were able to make a deal. Yepez is a guy I’ve liked since seeing him play for the PB Cards back in 2018. Then I like the strides he made in 2021, so I’ll take a chance on him. I will regret tacking on Pie if he ever figures out how to make consistent contact.

Nice working with Jason, thanks and good luck.

[White Sox GM (Jason)]

The losses of Hector Neris, Yusmeiro Petit and Richard Bleier opened up a need for another reliever, and Tanner Scott was an easy target being listed on Bailey's block. Willing to take a stab at Pie for a late pick.

Thanks for the quick talks, Bailey.
