TAM/MIL Trade

[Brewers GM (Ahmed)]

Tampa Bay Rays acquire:

1B Eric Hosmer ($1.50 M 2019, $20 M 2020, $20 M 2021, $20 M 2022, $13 M 2023, $13 M 2024, $13 M 2025)
UTI Marwin Gonzalez ($5.10 till 2022)

Milwaukee Brewers acquire:

2019 Tampa 1st round pick
2019 Tampa 3rd round pick
3B prospect Kelvin Gutierrez

What can I say?!!!! Getting rid of Hosmer's long term commitment although I'm losing Marwin Gonzalez. No salary retention and getting a package headlined by a 1st round pick 👀👀👀. Nice 2 week negotiations Tampa.

[Rays GM (Duck)]

I ACCEPT Well I get Hosmer back (was not gone long but long enough to bring salary down) and I get Marwin which is if signed a very good player imo. It was intense at times Ahmed but fun going back and forth

[Angels GM (Sean)]

Approve 1-0

[DBacks GM (David)]

Really like this for Tampa Bay.

Approve 2-0

[Cubs GM (Heller)]

It'll be some time for Hosmer's first option year, but regardless, I like this for both teams.

Approve (3-0)

Wow. I really wish I had tried to trade Hosmer back to Tampa.

Approve 4-0

[Braves GM (Cole)]

Quite the one-sided deal here. Not only does Milwaukee shed arguably the worst contract in the league, he gets a 1st rounder for it! Marwin is nice but he is still unsigned (and he's not Harper).

Pass

[Pirates GM (Alex)]

Approve.

You should've kept asking for McKay for 2 weeks and he would've countered with a first lol
