Cincinnati trades:
Brandon Morrow 950,000 2019-20M
Philadelphia trades:
Luis Campusano
Bailey Falter
I accept: Received a lot of attention for Morrow, but did have a price range in mind based off other similar deals for short term closers in the past, which I felt I was able to replicate close enough considering Morrow's injury history. Campusano was a teenager in Single A ball last year and didn't appear to get torn up by older pitching keeping his k-rate low. Body and bat speed indicate that power should develop. Also I guess I'm a big fan of Phillies pitchers as Falter will be my 3rd from that system, I like tall lefties who throw strikes. Bailey Falter is a tall lefty who throws strikes. Has pitched very well at every level despite being young for those levels and what is supposed to be 3 average pitches. Some hope he might develop some more velocity as he grows and I feel he's on the cusp of a breakout, and even without one I feel there's a big league role for him as a back end of the rotation or swingman type guy.
Thanks again to Paul for the trade and good luck.
