Cincinnati Sends: C Mike Zunino TB $5,250,000 2020-21P (2,250,000 retained by SEA for remainder of contract) SS Jordy Mercer DET $1,000,000 2020
Chicago White Sox Sends: P Jason Groome BOS OF Canaan Smith NYY
Cincinnati accepts.
Zunino was interesting as a cheap bounce back candidate at a thin position. However the best case scenario would be that he's just a place holder for a year. With that in mind it made sense to move potentially expiring contracts that don't hurt me a ton in the short term. I get to buy low on Groome's pedigree and stuff plus picking up a guy with the hitting ability and strong approach of Smith even if it's unclear if he'll get playing time as he's extremely limited defensively which puts a ton of pressure on the bat, I'm really excited to see how he develops.
Thanks to Luke for the easy negotiations
