TB and LAD Trade

[Rays GM (Bailey)]

TB sends:
Ford Proctor, SS (TB) - Prospect

LAD sends:
Ryan Pepiot, P (LAD) - Prospect

TB logic:
Cody and I have been discussing Pepiot for a few weeks and reached a deal tonight. I hate losing Proctor. He has done basically nothing but hit ever since he was drafted. He will have to work his way up the depth chart, but if he keeps hitting he will get a shot somewhere. After moving Baz, Bitsko, Honeywell, and several other pitchers, I wanted to acquire a pitcher. Felt like Pepiot was a good target. I have read good things about him and think he can contribute as earlier as this year.

Thank you to Cody for the smooth talks - good luck.

Bailey asked about Pepiot a couple of times, we didn’t really match up for a while as I had higher priorities, but he was patient and got his guy. Proctor’s profile really jumped out at me from a fantasy perspective, like Bailey alluded to I think he hits his way to the bigs. Good luck Tampa
