Seattle / Tampa (Approved 3-0) ** RE-SIGN & PICKS UPDATED**

[Seattle GM - Jamie]

Seattle trades
SP - Luis Severino - $3,800,000 (2024)(2025TO)(Re-sign)
OF - Kyle Schwarber - $8,000,000 (2024)

Tampa trades 
P - Ethan Small (prospect)
FYPD 1.19 (2021)
FYPD 2.19 (2021)
FYPD 2nd round (2022)
OF Yasiel Puig - $11,000,000 (2022) - cap dump - paid minors



The Why
    I am giving up Schwarber an impact bat, and Severino a front line SP when healthy.  Severino on a great contract that isn't a rookie contract.  I feel with the player in FYPD I am after, and getting Small i am getting 2 frontline starting pitchers.  Small closer to MLB ready than the other, and at this point not sure what will be around with 2.39 but that is still a top 40 draft pick, so should still plenty of talent left.  The 2nd next year will allow to continue to try and build minors or trade depending on what I need.  I am average this year a little above 500.  But i am over 30 games behind the team leading my division, so i need to acquire more pieces, and build for future.

How they were acquired
Luis Severino - can only find record on Severino where he was resigned suicide-squeeze.proboards.com/thread/2209/luis-severino-2024-2025to-sign
Kyle Schwarzer - sign in FA - suicide-squeeze.proboards.com/thread/2234/kyle-schwarber-won-2024-mariners

Yasiel Puig - signed as FA suicide-squeeze.proboards.com/thread/900/yasiel-puig-000-2022-rays

Thanks and good luck Tampa and your playoff push

TBR accept

I think its an overpay given the injury concerns of Severino specifically but I am in contention so adding 2 quality players and dumping puig's contract.

[Minnesota Twins GM – (DK)]
