Pitt Yankees/ Miami Rays Trade

[Pittsburgh Yankees (Drew)]

Pitt Yankees trade:
Max Muncy UT LAD 22: 2M, 23: 3M
Joey Gallo OF NYY 22: 1M, 23: 2M, 24: 3M
Aroldis Chapman P NYY 22: 15M
Prospect Oswaldo Cabrera SS NYY

to Miami Rays for:
Anthony Rizzo 1B NYY 22: 14.5M
July, August, September, and October Minors claims

I reached out to Stoffer about Rizzo, with the idea of moving a couple MLB pieces who should be helpful in the future, but who are cloggin up my roster right now. Gallo and Muncy have been big disappointments, but should bounce back in the 2nd half or next year to help Stoffer in the future. Rizzo helps me now in the offensive categories where I need a bump. We settled on Cabrera and the minors claims as some additional pieces. This deal may end up looking bad for me in the future if Muncy and Gallo get back to pre-2022 form, but it's the type of deal I need to make to go after a championship (or at least hold 2nd place). Nice dealing with Stoffer!

Need to take some chances on some guys and this type of deal should help me out. Good deal for what both sides need and look forward to routing for Oswaldo really big on him.

**Moves coming to make the roster space work.
