For Cesar Prieto and Drew Rom.
Edit: Roch Kubatko also reporting Zach Showalter is included in the deal.
Yeah. More would be nice, but we have every reason to believe the next 3 years will be amazing if we do basically nothing. No reason to give up a lot just yet. I'm okay with trading away fluff for a weak rental this year.
Yep, seems as though the prices for Cease and E-Rod were too steep for Elias and co. Flaherty gives us the extra arm we need for not as high prospects.
Plus we’ll be getting reinforcements from Means, Hall, and Wells at some point. (There’s also Tate and Givens, but I’m not banking on them).
