Athletics receive:Trevor Bauer (SP-LAD) $11,800,000 (2022)((2023TO))(((RE-SIGN))) Twins receive:Austin Martin (SS-MIN) Jackson Rutledge (SP-WAS) Clarke Schmidt (SP-NYY) 2022 FYPD, 3rd Round Pick Reasoning: I may not like him as a person, but Bauer is an elite ace when on the field. I don’t believe I will be able to out-bid a few clubs on the elite arms in free agency, so I’m taking an approach to win within the next two years while he is under contract. This strengthens the weakest aspect of my team, also his option can be declined next year if he continues to be poisonous. It’s a lot to give up, but I feel he gives much more than just potential. HOW PROSPECTS WERE ACQUIRED Austin Martin acquired by trade w/ D’Backs suicide-squeeze.proboards.com/thread/2952/diamondbacks-approved-re-sign-updated Jackson Rutledge acquired by A’s in 2019 FYPD 1.18 suicide-squeeze.proboards.com/thread/1338/2019-fypd-draft-concluded Clarke Schmidt acquired by A’s in 2017 FYPD 2.3 suicide-squeeze.proboards.com/thread/56/2017-fypd

Twins accepts.
I would have traded Bauer already as I like rooting for guys on my fantasy team and, without casting too much judgement, I don’t see myself rooting for Bauer. Plus, he was not even available for my championship run last year (he was out doing nasty things, I think, lol). Multiple teams checked in but no-one stepped up with an offer that made sense for me. The A’s stepped up. They get a top SP, whenever he returns. I get a package I really like. Martin will be an MLB starter and maybe a fairly good one. Rutledge Struggled a bit last year but is still young. With some luck and injury in the Yankees rotation Schmidt can potential finally break through at worst he’ll be a good bullpen arm. And I get an FYPD pick.
Best of luck A’s an adiós Bauer.
