I gave up a lot, I got a lot. Trading from depth for an elite player in Harper. Brandon and I worked through this relatively quickly and easily given the number of players involved. Good luck to him!

Windy City confirms.

I am not in a position to warrant a player of Harper's caliber. I figured by best bet would be to trade him for a glut of prospects. Garver slots in and upgrades my C position. Brown will get AB in the OF (which is already my strongest position, even with the loss of Harper). There is a lot to like in the prospect return. Moreno is a C of the future and does nothing but mash. Sabato is a nice depth piece at 1B. Martinez, Lange, and Thompson are further away, but intriguing pieces in their own right. Santillan slots into my bullpen and seemed to figure it out toward the end of the year. I also like the financial flexibility this brings me.

Michael was right. Relatively easy deal considering the pieces involved. Best of luck to the Washington Rangers!
