Cincinnati Sends:
Michael Brantley $11,000,000 2020
Billy Hamilton $11,400,000 2019
11,400,000 retained on Hamilton's contract
Chicago Sends:
Jose Miranda
Drew Ellis
Hector Perez
I accept:
I've been trying to get Ellis for what seems like a year, this is the 2nd or 3rd time we've discussed him, so I'm glad to finally aquire him, bunch of power, walks a lot doesn't strike out a ton. I like Miranda's approach as well, even if he doesn't quite have the power upside. There's a lot to like in Perez and his 3 pitch plus mix and an average 4th, still think there's starter upside with the power groundball combination especially if he can reign in his control.
I think it's a fair return considering the lack of interest Brantley has had for the last few years, and this is pretty much peak value for him. Alternatively I'm selling Hambone at his lowest value and with a potential move to the Yanks to be in an outfield rotation his value could have gotten worse, at the same time I didn't want to get nothing for him and would have rather eaten the contract, I feel I was able to get as much as I could even if he had a bounce back.
Thanks Curtis for another trade good luck, maybe one day I'll learn to stop trading in the division.
