Tex trades: AMAT selections 2.14 and 7.1
WAS trades the rights to Grayson Rodriguez
Why TEX did this trade: I thought about this. I made a big board prior to the draft and Rodriguez was ranked 13 on my big board. Scott was my 11th and Gilbert was 14th. So, I got my 11th, 13th and 14th rated prospects in this draft by my opinion. Even if this trade is for a HS RHP, the process is more important than who I am trading for. I like Rodriguez, he's a big RHP, with a 65 graded fastball, and average offspeed and average control. Baltimore's development staff, I've been impressed with since last year. DL Hall, Cameron Bishop, Zac Lowther, Keegan Akin, Breenan Hanifee all have developed really well. I'll take my chances again on a kid I ranked so highly.
Good luck with those picks, Sean. I know you'll be avoiding hs pitching haha.

I confirm the trade.
My explanation is much simpler, as I said I really prefer not to pick pitchers this high in a draft. Rodriguez was a reasonable auto-pick but I feel getting someone 16 picks later plus an additional pick, even a low one, balanced it out.
I hope Rodriguez makes me look dumb, Joe.
