Oakland sends: Cal Quantrill SD - Prospect Franklin Perez DET - Prospect Chance Adams NYY - Prospect Mark Zagunis CHC - Prospect Travis Blankenhorn MIN - Prospect
Cincinnati sends: Billy Hamilton CIN 18:$2M, 19:$3M Raisel Iglesias CIN 18:$4.5M, 19:$5M Zach Greinke ARI 18:$24M
Reasoning: This deal was mostly about getting Hamilton for me. I needed a centerfielder, as well as some more speed on my roster so he made perfect sense. I also had a hole at closer and needed another frontline starter so Iglesias and Greinke fit nicely as well. I had to give up three top pitching prospects, but my minor league system was pretty well stocked with pitching talent and is still in pretty good shape I think.

My rationale is that my team isn't in great shape to compete now or in the near future with my minor league system lacking from years of neglect. Getting three top 100 pitchers in Cal Quantrill, Franklin Perez, and Chance Adams really sets up my future competitiveness in starting pitching, as I feel I'm very lacking in my minor league system on these. Clearing Greinke's salary, also gives me much more flexibility in free agency this year so that I can start rebuilding this team for future competitiveness.
