Rays deal: SS Mauricio Dubon $600,000 20xx SP Adrian Houser $600,000 2020 MiLFA 4.21
Cubs deal: OF Sam Hilliard $600,000 20xx MiLFA 6.24
Rationale: When Curtis first proposed a deal in this vein I thought it was an interesting concept since Dubon and Hilliard are both similarly aged with some similar minor league splits though Hilliard’s power with ballpark gives him the edge in terms of upside so I had to throw in more. I also need an OF more anyway given I had multiple vacancies with little to bid on in free agency and my prospects are a year or two away.
Hated throwing in Houser since he’s cheap and I think he’ll be in the Brewers rotation full time next year, plus he’s versatile with the dual designation but he was kind of streaky for me, first good as a reliever and bad as a starter then vice versa. If he had more than the one year left I likely don’t do this deal. The picks were just an added sweetener since I think the talent will be pretty similar by that point in the draft but shedding Mr. Irrelevant helps Curtis finish his draft earlier heh.

Cubs accept. I do think I'm giving up some great upside in Hilliard given what he was able to accomplish at the end of last season, but my need for a 2B and already-stacked OF make this deal worth doing. I think Dubon has a great chance to be the everyday 2B for the rebuilding Giants, where Hilliard most likely ends up as a platoon CFer given how the Rockies treat (abuse?) their prospects. Houser is getting a ton of offseason hype for his Statcast results, hopefully he can fill in admirably for me as a back-end SP next season.

+10 CHC Hilliard is probably the best player but his success in AAA in the bandbox PCL inflated his numbers and I dont know if he is a long term piece in the COL outfield. Id rather have Dubon and Houser with the higher pick. Solid trade though
