Getting rid of Smith, while difficult, is probably the right move at this point. I attached a late 1st to make it happen, using that to convince Evan in order to get it done. I get back Gavin Stone (same first name as my son, always a plus) and Sal Frelick, both who have a ton of control. Nice working with Evan on this!

Over to Miami to confirm!

I’m a big Smith fan, and have been craving a solid catcher since I got here. I also really like the guys I gave up, but it was a fun deal and Chris is a really creative and determined deal maker. Confirmed…thanks and best of luck!
