Cleveland Braves trade: Sean Manaea P OAK 21: 500K Kevin Newman IF PIT 21: 500K, 22: 500K, 23: 500K, 24: 500K Prospect Freddy Tarnok P ATL
to Boston Padres for: Mike Moustakas 2B CIN 21: 6M, 22: 6M Prospect Taj Bradley P TB Prospect Mahki Backstrom 1B ATL Ian Kennedy P KC 21: 7M, 22: 13M
Reasoning: I have been needing a 2B who brings a little bit more to the table than my current options. With Moore and Fletcher no longer having eligibility, Moustakas looks like a good option. Backstrom is a Braves guy that I am high on as a rising power prospect, and Bradley is a flier on a Rays arm with potential. Kennedy I am taking on as salary relief for Houston, but will release and take the cap hit.

agreed. Drew inquired about Moose and although there is definitely still value there, I felt I could switch gears in my IF (higher avg and sb) and get some quality control out of Newman as well as solid pitching now and later with Manaea and Tarnok. saving me a couple million each year was what really put me over the edge here. With a tight salary already, those couple million could be a big difference.
