Reds trade:



SP David Price (9) $5.00 $25.00 $32.00 $32.00 $32.00 UFA

RP Tyler Clippard (11) $0.50 UFA

$12.5M in 2019 cap



Royals trade:



RP Kelvin Herrera (6) $7.94



Price wasn't as much a bad investment as he just wasn't a fit for my team going forward. He's cheap this year and now next, but his contract in years 3-5 just didn't fit with the rest of my team. I think he is a great asset, especially with the way he is pitching right now, but I see him causing more problems with my cap situation in the future than I'd like for him to.



Herrera plays for the Royals, which sucks for him. But he has saves in over 2/3 of the Royals wins and that's better than what I've got for saves now. Clippard couldn't take over the role with Osuna out so he has little value to me. I'm gonna assume that Herrera gets traded to a contender later in the year and loses his closer role but I need all the RP I can get at this point, whether it comes in the form of saves or holds.


-- Alec would like to place the $12.5M on Price in 2019

Accept. Needed another SP to boost my rather weak staff. Next two years of salary are manageable for Price, so to me
Its worth it. Good deal

Approve. Royals have an amnesty available if Price's contract goes off the rails.

Edit: plus I missed the 2019 cap move. Still approve.
