TB & CHC Trade

[Rays GM (Bailey)]

TB sends:
Hunter Renfroe, OF (BOS) - 21: $3.1M; 22-23: ARB
Joe Ryan, P (TB) - Prospect

CHC sends:
Anthony Rizzo, CI (CHC) 21: $16.5M
Michael Harris, OF (ATL) - Prospect

TB logic:
Reached out to Derek about Harris and we came to this deal. I love Ryan - saw him play in FL - but I think I could use an OF prospect more. Then it is tough to move 3 years of Renfroe for just 1 year of Rizzo, but I think I have enough OF depth at the MLB level to justify it. Plus I absolutely love Rizzo (he's from my hometown) so I wanted to acquire him. I now have him on 3 out of 4 of my dynasty teams.

Nice working with Derek on this deal! Thank you and good luck.

I agree to this deal. Myself being a Red Sox fan I like what Hunter brings to Boston and hitting off the green monster. I am impressed with Ryan's stuff. Rizzo is a big bat to give up but I have several players on the last year of their contracts. With Rizzo being 31 I had to cut him loose plus it opens up the purse strings. Nice working with Bailey very easy talks and good luck in the future
