WSH/NYY and CLE/ATL Trade

[Washington Yankees (Jake)]

Washington Yankees trades: Nick Castellanos ($15M in 22 and 23) and Ryan Tepera ($0.6M in 22 and 23)

Cleveland Braves trades: Lance McCullers ($5M in 22), Mike Soroka ($0.5M in 22-24), and Mike Moustakas ($6M in 22)


I'm realizing finding frontline starting pitching in this league is a difficult process. Taking a shot on McCullers and Soroka that they get healthy, stay healthy, and can be those frontline starters that I need. 

Mouse helps replace some of the offense lost with Castellanos gone, and I'm hoping the DH benefits him. 

I certainly hate to give up someone with the offensive fire power of Castellanos and had plenty of people asking about him. But I felt like this was a chance for me acquire two starters that could lead my rotation for a while (McCullers is a potential franchise tag next offseason). 

Thanks to Drew for the quick and easy negotiations. And good luck. 

[Cleveland Braves (Drew)]

Confirmed. I love both Soroka and McCullers, but am nervous about the health of both. Soroka is one of my favorite players, so for the Atlanta Braves' sake, I hope he is back healthy and shoving early this season. For the Cleveland Braves, however, I have tons of pitching depth and was in need of another big bat. Mous helps offset the salary and I'm taking a flyer on Tepera maybe ending up with a low-end closer job.

Jake came with a nice initial offer, and with a quick tweak, we got it to the finish line quickly!
