SEA / TB Trade

[Mariners GM (Jeff)]

Seattle and Tampa Bay have agreed to the following trade:

Seattle Sends:
Tyler O'Neill, OF (STL) - $3,500,000 (Arb est), FA in 2025

Tampa Bay Sends:
Jared Walsh, CI/OF (LAA) - $750,000 (pre arb)
Rights to picks 3.23 and 3.28 in upcoming FYPD



I put O'Neill on the block and Bailey came calling literally right away. Once he said Walsh was available, i had to make this move. While  i do love Tyler, I had more pressing needs in positions other than OF. Bailey is one of the best GMs to work with, I couldn't recommend him more. Over to him to confirm!

[Rays GM (Bailey)]

Rays confirm.

Like Jeff said, I saw his post and immediately reached out. He was looking for CI so we matched up perfectly. Tough to move Walsh because I like him a lot, and this is the only league I have him in, but I also like O’Neill a lot and wanted to get a share of him. The picks evened out the deal, and helped me consolidate roster space as I expect to add some more players soon. As for my CI situation, I’m hoping that Muncy and Stephenson can hold down the fort for me this year.

Thank you Jeff for the kind words! Always a pleasure doing business with you
