MIL trades: RP Seth Lugo $4,000,000 2020-21P (entire salary retained on 2019 only) AMAT pick 6.7
TB trades: RP Mychael Givens $5,000,000 2021 AMAT pick 3.3
Rationale: Put simply, an upgrade in my bullpen and finally some breathing room payrollwise for this year since I shed Givens' salary and Mike retained Lugo's for this season. Apparently Lugo will be back this weekend so his recent injury shouldn't be a concern (though given it's my Mets we're talking about I have to knock on wood lol). Givens definitely has potential but I got tired of watching his production trend downward for a bad team, while Lugo's one of my favs in real life so doubly glad to have him here. Didn't really want to nuke both my 2nd and 3rd rounders this fast but I did at least get a pick back as well later on.
Best of luck Mike!

Agreed.
Agreed.
I hate to let Lugo go, but I think I have enough RP help (now and coming soon) to replace his numbers. I'm holding on to hope that Givens gets his control in check. He won't produce the same numbers as Lugo, but may not be too far off. I'm sure I'll miss Lugo's production week to week, but the potential return is worth the loss.
I have cap space to spare, so keeping Lugo's salary this year is not a concern. My MiLB roster is weak, so the opportunity to trade up for an earlier pick in the AMAT pick was appealing.
Hasan and I have talked about salary relief previously, so this seemed like a good fit both of our needs. Thanks to Hasan for an easy negotiation.
Mike
