TB sends:
Jonathan India, MI (CIN) - 24: $3.2M; 25-26: ARB
Rafael Montero, RP (HOU) - 24: $6M, 25: $6M
Austin Adams, RP (NYM) - 24: $0.7M, 25: $0.7M
Mitch Haniger, OF (SF) - 24: $18.5M
TEX sends:
Carson Williams, MI (TB) - Prospect
TB Logic:
I acquired Montero and Haniger this off-season in trades, but I have since decided that I want their contracts completely off of my books. Attaching India with them to make the salary dump work is certainly unconventional, but I feel it is fair overall. It is very tough to move India - the first player I ever acquired in this league, one of my personal favorites, and a hometown hero. However, in spite of the thin depth in my infield, I felt it might be wise to move him because he is arb-eligible; a philosophy similar to the real life Rays, I suppose. In addition to the newfound cap space, I am also adding an exciting prospect in Carson Williams. Here's hoping he can slash his strikeout rate and continue his ascent to the Big Leagues.
**Carson Williams will slot into my MiLB roster**
Nice talks with David on this one, welcome to the league and good luck!
