Tampa Bay sends:
Niko Hulsizer, OF (TB) - 21: $0.5M (MiLB)
Seth Johnson, P (TB) - Prospect
Cincinnati sends:
Tyler Mahle, P (CIN) - 21: $2M, 22-23: Arb
Jonathan India, CI (CIN) - 21: $0.5M (MiLB)
Tampa Bay Logic:
I was looking to bolster my starting pitching core. Mahle is a guy who I have acquired recently in my other 3 dynasty leagues, so I figured I might as well get him here too. He is not a lock for the Reds’ rotation and he needs to lower his walk rate, but I like his outlook if he earns a starting job. Hopefully he does not end up decimating all four of my dynasty teams lol. India coincidentally is another player I have in all of my leagues. My reasons for liking him are a little biased, as he is a hometown kid and someone who I have seen play a bunch in the Minors, but he is actually a great fit for my squad since I am kind of lacking at the hot corner. I hope his high floor translates to the Majors. Had to give to get though, because I am high on the two prospects that I am sending to Cincy. Johnson has some of the highest upside of any arm in the Rays’ system, and Hulsizer’s power potential is enticing. Overall, the deal made sense and is mutually beneficial. Nice working with Adam on this one!
