SEA / CWS

[Mariners GM (Jeff)]

Seattle Sends:

Joey Votto, CI (CIN) - $700,000


Chicago sends:

Kutter Crawford, P (BOS) - $850,000 (pre-arb)
Ian Bedell, P (STL) - Minors


Jason came and asked about Votto and game me some names that would work. This came together very quickly. Over to Chicago to confirm!

[White Sox GM (Jason)]

Quick & easy deal here — my lineup is uber-thin, and I'd like to not rely entirely on spending money in free agency to fill the gaps.

Thanks, Jeff.
