OAK / BOS

[Athletics GM (Jared)]

Oakland sends:
Jesus Luzardo - $750k arb arb arb
Pick 1.28

To Boston for:
Pick 1.04

I’m high on the top 5 guys in this draft and this secures a second selection in that group. I think Luzardo will put it all together, but this fits my build better.

[Red Sox GM (Kevin)]

Red Sox accepts.
I really believe Luzardo can turn it around in Miami and become a top of the rotation pitcher. I feel the top 3 SS who I would target wouldn’t fall to 1.04 so I’ll cash out for Luzardo and 1.28.
