Houston Giants // LA Mariners trade

[Houston Giants (Chad)]

Houston Giants trade:
Masataka Yoshida BOS OF (24-27: 0.5m)
2025 4th round pick

LA Mariners trade:
Jaren Duran BOS OF (24-26: 0.5m)
2024 September MiLB monthly claim

Houston Giants accept. Fun one here. Trading someone with a higher floor and better OBP skills for someone with a higher ceiling, but maybe more volatility. Here’s to hoping Duran continues to be a late-bloomer. Thanks to Sam for the discussion to get this one done.

LA Mariners agree. A lot of back and forth here, but finally came to something we both could get comfortable with. There is a lot of hype surrounding Duran lately - and it may be justified, but I like the stability I believe Yoshida will provide. He gives me a much-needed boost in OBP and RBI and I think other players on my team will make up for the productivity I lose by dealing Duran. The 4th rounder just provides a little something to fall back on in case Yoshida's age catches up with him. Good Talks with Chad. Best of luck to the Giants.
