SF gives:
Charlie Morton SP 2021: $15,200,000 2022: $15,200,000
WAS gives:
Taijuan Walker SP 2021: $10,000,000 2022: $10,000,000 2nd round pick
Giants trading away Morton who is older and does has the retirement risk next year. He could bounce back big in ATL this year. Getting back Walker who is younger and few years away from TJS. Hoping he lands in a good spot as he’s still a FA. 2nd round next year helps my rebuild. Lee to confirm.

Confirmed. For me this was about shoring up my pitching, which Morton does in a big way. Think he has a chance to be a stud in Atlanta, and I'll deal with the retirement risk in the off-season. Figured that Walker would have a deal in hand right now, and while I'm sure he ends up starting somewhere I didn't want to wait it out. Tough to part with a 2nd round pick but that's the price of business. Great dealing with Kevin.
