SD Red Sox Send Cole Hamels '17:22.5M '18:22.5M :18:20M (Club Option 6M Buyout) Trevor Bauer '17:1M '18:2M '19:3M The rights to J.A. Happ.
Washington Yankees Send for Lucas Giolito
I agree to this trade. I know I'm giving up an ace in Cole Hamels and a good young pitcher in Bauer but I'm incredibly high on Giolito and he will give me the type of prized prospect that I need to headline my farm. This also helps me to free up 24M in salary for next year by moving Hamels and his salary. I wasn't going to tag Happ anyway so I saw this as a good chance to trade him to someone who could actually use him and use him as the final piece of the puzzle to try to land Giolito.

Accept. My rationale, my team is better now than before this trade.

Hamels is better than Gioloto currently, Gioloto probably better 3 years from now, but my team needed a #1. Bauer has the pedigree and had success at the MLB level and will serve as a nice #3 on a cheap contract and I didn't have (2) players to RFA so I had nothing to lose putting a tag on Happ and watching the auction. In short, I had the cap room to add Hamels to see how 2017 goes and like the real Nats, I decided to move Giolito to have a better team in 2017 than in 2019. I hope Gio puts up many quality years for ACE and he lands a good player with the cap room.
