TB & COL Trade

[Rays GM (Bailey)]

TB sends:
Jonathan Aranda, MI (TB) - 22: $2.1M [MiLB]
Luis Garcia, RP (SD) - 22-23: $1.7M

COL sends:
2023 Minors Draft 3rd Round Pick [COL]
2023 Minors Draft 3rd Round Pick [TB]
2023 Minors Draft 3rd Round Pick [BOS]

TB Logic:
Needed to move some more salaries to afford Hayes. I love Aranda, especially considering he is a Ray, but he seemed like the odd man out on my offense. As for Garcia, he has been awesome for me this season, notching a hold today in fact, but due to his salary, he made the most sense to trade.

Nice talks with Michael per usual, thank you and good luck.

[Rockies GM (Michael)]

I like Aranda a lot and Garcia can help me now. Worth the draft picks in my estimation. Easy, swift negotiations with Bailey. Good luck to TB.
