ARI / OAK

[Diamondbacks GM (Sam)]

Arizona sends:

Erik Swanson, RP, TOR (2023: $5M, 2024: $5M, 2025: $5M

Sal Stewart, CI, CIN (MiLB)

New York Mets' 2024 2nd round pick

Chicago Cubs' 2024 3rd round pick

Oakland sends:

Oakland Athletics' 2024 1st round pick

I'm addicted to 1st round picks, and was getting FOMO about not having any. Swanson and Stewart will be missed, but opening up an extra $5M in cap space is also nice. Easy deal with Jared, best of luck to him this year! Over to him to confirm.

[Athletics GM (Jared)]

Oakland agrees.

Sam and I have been kicking around ideas for a few days and this one stuck. I have a hard time giving up prospects...I get attached. But picks are easier so this works out. Hoping that I've shored up the bullpen enough to make a run at the division title this year. It will all depend on getting a couple more good callups.
