Seattle Sends:
Aaron Judge, OF (FA) - Franchise Tag Isaiah Campbell, P (SEA) - Minors Rights to SEA 2024 1st round pick
Arizona Sends:
Cal Raleigh, C (SEA) - $850,000 (Pre-Arb) Alec Bohm, CI (PHI) - $850,000 (Pre-Arb) Jordan Groshans, CI (MIA) - $700,000 (Pre-Arb) Benny Montgomery, OF (COL) - Minors
Sigh... The dude who practically carried my offense last season is now on the move. My team has just too many holes to fill and not enough salary cap to keep Judge around. Hes ben on my trade block all offseason, and one of our newest members (Sam) was very pleasant to work with. We had some back and forth, but for me at least, this was the best haul i could have gotten this early in the offseason. Too early to end him? maybe... but now i get the entire offseason to make my team better without the Judge contract over my head.
Now, over to Sam to confirm.

Confirmed! Definitely a big salary to add to a rebuilding team and I contemplated putting that many eggs in one basket. Ultimately I decided to move some guys that I wasn't necessarily attached to in order to obtain a centerpiece for my team to build around for the foreseeable future. Thanks to Jeff for the easy negotiations!
