SEA / STL

[Mariners GM (Jeff)]

Seattle sends:

Freddy Pacheco, RP (STL) - MiLB

St. Louis sends:

James Paxton, P (BOS) - $4,500,000 (FA in 24), bought down 50% to $2,250,000)


Trading an unproven RP for a chance Paxton returns for some healthy innings in Boston. Cheap risk If you ask me. Over to Zack to confirm!

[Cardinals GM (Zack)]

Paxton was an expiring deal and was not going to be a long term asset in my team. Saving salary and gaining a RP prospect that has decent upside. Confirmed.
