Minnesota sends:
Bryce Harper 16:$5M, 17:$6M, 18:$7M
Cleveland sends:
Yoan Moncada BOS prospect
Ozzie Albies ATL prospect
Tyler O'Neill SEA prospect
At this point I'm about 35-40 points out of 1st place, and not looking like we can get there. Finishing in 2nd or 3rd could be a possibility but Harper 2016 isn't the same as MVP Harper 2015 and one bat doesn't look like he's going to make a huge difference for us or not - unless he has a HUGE 2nd half which Drew is hoping for.
In return how can I turn down Moncada (who some are calling the #1 prospect in the game, and he could even see MLB time later this year, if not 2017), Albies (Atlanta's #1 prospect who projects to be a very good MLBer) and O'Neill (one of Seattle's top prospects with some big time power potential)? There's a chance that I may lead in SBs from 2017 until forever with Moncada and Albies alone.
Of course I hate to move Harper, one of my favorite players whom I just acquired in a big trade prior to this season, but if one of two of these kids live up to the potential then it's a win-win for both of us. And that's what a good trade is all about!
