Phillies send: - Jorge Alfaro
- JP Crawford
- Franmil Reyes
Pirates send: - 1.2 MiLBFA
- 2.2 MiLBFA
- Kyle Muller
Phillies reasoning: - I have been looking for various ways to acquire high picks in the MiLBFA draft (as several of you know) and acquired 2 picks in the top 26 selections, with 1.2 being premium
- Acquiring Kyle Muller gives me a nice, low-profile athletic pitcher with mid-rotation upside but a long way from MLB impact
- Losing Alfaro kind of sucks but you have to give to get, so I deemed Alfaro expendable due to my already having Realmuto locked up, a so-so backup in McCann, and Aramis Garcia (a decent catching prospect) for youth
- Losing JP Crawford might pose a problem long term, otherwise, I'm set at my MLB SS position with Simmons and Owings backing up in the near term; I plan to address long term needs over the course of the next season or two
- Losing Franmil Reyes is mostly about thinning my OF depth at both majors and minors levels

Pirates accept...I was happy to get two rookie prospects that should start this season. Both will be 600K For 2018 and controllable ARB players for the next few years. Also adding a prospect in Reyes who is only 22 and has put up great numbers in the Padres AA organization last season. It was difficult to move the 1.2 pick but to me this package was worth it.

+5 Pirates. Ah, the old upside vs proximity debate, trade is even enough so just voting preference. Though, Reyes could be the most interesting of these pieces depending on how the off season shakes out for him.

Hard to really give it a fair grade, guess it depends what you think of Crawford, Alfaro and the #2 overall in the draft. I'd tend to give Pirates a +5 as well, since it's an even quantity trade they get the nod on proximity and getting two of the top three assets in the trade but it's definitely creative and both teams got what they want.
