Cap change:
Rockies: -$0.9 ($37.8 not accounting for other trades)
Dodgers: +$1.5 ($29.5 not accounting for other trades)
Astros: no change ($47.7)

Astros' reason for the trade:
My involvement in this trade is relatively minor (Moran for Schebler). Despite the down year, and the crowded Dodgers outfield, Scott Schebler has a fantasy friendly game. Less batting average than Moran, but a chance for a few SBs. Thanks Dodgers and Rockies for the easy negotiations.



* Please note that this trade cannot be processed until we have a Trade Committee.

LAD's reasoning for this trade:
My initial interest was in acquiring 3B Colin Moran from HOU. Once this trade was agreed upon and I informed COL I owned the rights to C. Moran, COL expressed his interest in C. Moran.

I approached COL asking if his prospects were available for discussion. After a number of PM's occurring over several days we can to the above agreement. My idea is to fill up my farm system with P's so having acquired 7 of COL's top 8 pitching prospects is a good start for me.
This trade was one where I gave up quality for quantity and in time I hope I see the pay off.

Rockies view of tis trade:
I gave 5 pitchers to get Jose Peraza. A couple were tough to lose, but honestly...the other 3 didn't bother me that much. I thought that highly of Peraza. I was actually wanting to trade pitching for hitting so we added my pitchers Freeland and Castro for LA's hitters Verdugo and Dixon. I believe the Rockies get two very good bats for a couple worthy arms. Then Moran for a couple guys that I wasn't protecting was also no problem. So...I may live to regret some of those arms that Stuart got, but I am happy with the quality coming to Colorado.

Thanks Stuart and Adam...nice first trade!
