Tampa trades: AMAT 1.21 AMAT 4.21 SP Daniel Mengden $600,000 2020 OF Leonys Martin $6,000,000 2021-22M MiLB OF Demi Orimoloye
SF trades: Mark Melancon $15,100,000 2020 ($6 million retained by SF) AMAT 2.1
Rationale: Needed bullpen help and couldn't use a lot of cap space to do it so having Troy retain some of Melancon's salary and taking on Martin's (atm) dead money accomplishes that. I'm more trading for Melancon expecting him to be a setup guy though the Braves claim he's their closer atm I don't really buy that long-term, or as long-term as a rental is. Still he should help my pen which didn't have a lot of other proven options in it.
The pick drop early from 21 to 25 should help Troy, as does another top 100 AMAT pick. Mengden I didn't really see a role for in Oakland this year after he regressed and other younger pitchers passed him by but he's a cheap lottery ticket that Troy can roster or flip later for something if he at least can find a role to pitch innings. Orimoloye was probably in danger of my post-AMAT draft cut list and feels like a bit of a tease but it's certainly possible I regret trading him if he ever does find it. Even Martin could eventually find his way back to the majors though I was more glad to clear his salary in future years and reallocate it this year.
As usual, a nice and smooth process with you Troy!
