Nationals/Padres

[bryanm1982 (Bryan, WAS)]

Nationals trade:

OF Tyler O’Neill (STL) 1st $0.3
CF Michael Taylor (WAS) 4th $2.1
RP Neftali Feliz (FA) 2018 $1.7

Padres Trade:
RP Tyler Thornburg (BOS) 6th $1.0
RP Ryan Madson (WAS) 2018 $2.5
OF Guillermo Heredia (SEA) 2nd $0.5

Salary cap change:
WAS: -$0.1
SD: +$0.1

Reason:
I agree to this trade cause this gives me more bullpen depth on my team. Madson has a chance to be a closer and I would possibly get a 30% discount on him next year. Thornburg is suppose to be the set up guy for BOS if he can stay healthy. Heredia was a throw in so I can have some depth in OF. Feliz needed to be added for salary cap reasons. Hopefully he can sign with someone and can produce. I like O’Neill’s potential but right now he’s blocked in STL. If Taylor can do what he did in the playoffs last year I’m losing out on a good player. Hopefully he found himself late last season and with a regular playing time this season he should.

Thanks Bill for the easy negotiations. Good luck!

Thanks Bryan, great working with you. I accept the above trade. My bullpen has been kind of a hodgepodge that I don't think will be very competitive, I'm parlaying two of the more desirable pieces into a promising prospect and a young outfielder that I've wanted to optain for some time. Taylor adds some nice depth to my CF spot and I think O'Neill finds a way to get a chance in the show. Thornburg is kind of an unknown since he missed last year, but I expected him to take a significant role in the Red Sox pen. Losing Madson means I lost my best chance at consistent holds or saves...but I don't think he was going to be enough to keep me competitive in that category anyway. Maybe Feliz gets picked up, or maybe I have to try and ditch his salary...I'll figure that out later.

Dropping the guys in fantrax now.

Your other league is sneaking through again, Bryan. Can we get that "Yankees" changed to "Nationals"?
