Cubs / Athletics

[Cubs GM (Colin)]

Cubs trade:

Cap relief

A's trade:

Anthony Rendon - $38M / season through 2026
German Marquez - 2023: $15M, 2024 (option) $16M
Jorge Alfaro - 2023: $3M

2024 first round pick (CWS)
2024 third round pick (CHC)


Cubs rationale:

I have cap space and have been looking to acquire future assets by using it. This lines up with what I'm looking for here.

Good chatting with Jared, Athletics to confirm.

[Athletics GM (Jared)]

A’s confirm. This is why I rolled the dice on a big Rendon comeback and I held onto a few picks in case I needed to get out of it. Great working with Colin.
