Reds Send: SS Zack Cozart $4,500,000 (2018) 2018 MiLFA 4.16 2018 AMAT 3.16
Dodgers Send: LHP Thomas Szapucki 2018 AMAT 6.14
I accept. I only had cap space for two promotions this year and needed to free some up. Cozie had a career year and plays premium positions but because I have depth at MI I felt I could deal from strength but wasn't motivated to sell unless I got something I liked. One of the things I asked for when people inquired was bounce back arms. Being a tall lefty, I have a soft spot for Szapucki and I still think he has upside as a top of a rotation guy and I probably wouldn't be able to get him for Cozart if it weren't for the injury.
Picks were just for finagling and to make both of us not feel like we were getting the short end of the stick.
Thanks to Dodgers for the trade.

After seeing the crazy price for Tulo in free agency, I knew I would need to fill my MI spot with a trade. Cozart being a one year deal was perfect so he doesn't block prospects. I hated to give up Szapucki, but my minors is so deep that I only viewed him as my 8th best pitching prospect, so trading him to fill a hole made some sense. I'm also not too confident in his ability to stay healthy. I was also able to pick up a 3rd AMAT and a 4th MiLFA, which I wouldn't have though had value a week ago, but just might as things are going in this draft. Hopefully with one of those picks I will be able to grab someone that makes me feel a little better in 3 years when Szapucki is starting for the Mets.
Thanks to the Reds. This one came together quickly.

+0. Solid trade, I think Cozart is an underrated player and Szapuki is a nice prospect. Pretty fair for a rental IMO

+5 Dodgers...a fair trade, I felt at first glance one year of Cosart at a good price plus two mid-round picks basically for Szapucki is a bit highish - but it is only one year and two mid-round picks. Plus as a Met fan irl I'm getting skittish over all our arms being hurt
