Rangers Trade:
SP Chris Sale (BOS) - $5,600,000 (2022)(2023TO) (Re-Sign)
SS/OF Isiah Kiner-Falefa (NYY) - $300,000 (2023) **PAID MINORS**
Orioles Trade:
SP/RP Ross Stripling $2,000,000 (2024)
RP Keegan Akin $300,000 (2026)
LHP Blake Walston (ARI) - suicide-squeeze.proboards.com/thread/1338/2019-fypd-draft-concluded ; www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=walsto000mat
LHP Brock Selvidge (NYY) - suicide-squeeze.proboards.com/thread/2047/2021-contraction-draft-completed ; www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=selvid000jos
SS Joey Ortiz (BAL) - www.baseball-reference.com/players/o/ortizjo06.shtml
Fire-sale is a full go for Texas Rangers now. I probably wasn't going to re-sign Sale again even on a 2-yr deal just too much risk at his age. IKF has seen his PT uptick as he plays more OF while mixing in some on the INF.
In return I acq a guy who has at times had some success starting in Stripling, a RP who was pretty good last year but struggled in the majors this year but has been lights out at AAA so only a matter of time before he gets another chance.
Plus I get 3 prospects to help replenish my farm. Hopeful that Walston is a long-term answer to my rotation. Not sure what role is in the future for Selvidge. Ortiz is a solid INF spec who should probably be getting more of a chance than he is but maybe he will sooner than later.
