COL/OAK

[Rockies GM (Michael)]

Colorado trades
Merrill Kelly SP ARI 23-24: $8M, 25: $7M
Ji-Hwan Bae MI PIT MiLB

Oakland trades
Seiya Suzuki OF CHC 23-26: $40M
2023 3rd round draft pick

I like Suzuki more than most people do.


Commish Edit: The pick included by Oakland is 3.03 in the upcoming draft.

[Athletics GM (Jared)]

Oakland confirms. I’m moving at a different pace than I was when I signed Suzuki. I was primarily looking to free up that cap space while getting a meaningful return. Thanks to Michael for smooth negotiations.
