Giants Send:

Stephen Strasburg, SP (WSH) - 2023: $25,001,00; 2024: $25,001,00
Pick 1.22 

Rangers Send:

Brandon Crawford, SS (SF) - 2023: $8,000,000

Rangers Rationale:

This is another move that's primarily about using my cap space to acquire a future asset. Crawford only has 1-year remaining so he doesn't fit my timeline. Easy negotiation with Kev, as always, and over to him to confirm.

Giving up a later 1st rounder to free me of the Strasburg contract. Me taking back Crawford was more of a homer move than anything. He will be a stop gap this year until some of my younger talents hit the big leagues. Good talk with Sean.
