Pirates trade: OF Starling Marte $16,000,000 (2020) - $8 million retained by Pittsburgh
Rays trade: MiLB SS Tyler Freeman MiLB SP John Doxakis MiLB SP Steven Jennings
Rationale: After wanting to sell off early, my team's sitting in first almost halfway through the season despite Goldy being in team-caused quarantine and Cain opting out. That combined with the fact there seem to be way more sellers than buyers (most of whom have already traded a lot of chips) pushed me to go the other way and go in on 2020 more. I needed another bat, specifically an OF given a few of my projected starters before the season aren't starting for one reason or another and Marte's as good as it gets to that end.
Was willing to give up Freeman as the centerpiece soon after getting him since I have a few high end middle infield prospects as it is plus Castro who's playing now. Jennings I drafted high in one of my first drafts and while he hasn't lived up to it yet he still has some potential with his durability and control. Doxakis I didn't really want to give up since I was thrilled to draft him at 5.2 last year and his value has only increased since then. Still, he and Jennings haven't pitched above A-level yet so who knows how the delay affects them. And the market for a top rental was pretty well set by the Carrasco deal.
Best of luck to you, Mike!

Reasoning: With Marte a free agent and my team falling out of the race I was happy the to get Freeman a good prospect who should make it to the majors and a couple of highly drafted pitching prospects who have a chance to make it up in the future. Thanks for the trade Hasan and Good Luck.

+5 Pitt. Totally get the trade on both fronts. I might be high on freeman though so him alone for the rental I thought was fair.
Edit: I should have noted, good trade
