Twins trade: SP Justin Verlander Astros $9.5 2021 CF Mallex Smith Rays $1.0 3rd Padres trade: SP Johnny Cueto Giants $7.8 2020 CF Michael A. Taylor Nationals $2.1 4th C Sandy Leon Red Sox $1.0 4th 3B Hudson Potts $0.3 1st (Previously Unprotected) www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=sanche000hudSP Luis Patino $0.3 1st (Previously Unprotected) www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=patino000luiCap change: Twins: +$1.0 Padres: -$0.4 This is a tough trade for me as I am giving up the top SP in the game in Verlander, but, he is 35 (signed until he is 38) has 2,600 IP on his odometer and Kate Upton to go home to so I figure he has to start running out of gas fairly soon. I replace him with Cueto who is a little younger, cheaper and expiring sooner even if he is a tier below and a bigger injury risk. I get Taylor who I am a huge fan of personally and in terms of his potential to be a 20/30 guy. I am also picking up two prospects that would easily be in the top ten of most other systems and I fully expect to see in the top 100 in the next year or two, so I figure I can at least deal them a year from now when their stock is a little higher to get a younger Verlander replacement.

The Padres accept. I get another elite pitcher to team with Scherzer, so I can do battle with some loaded teams in the postseason and Smith gives me OF position versatility and a steady steals option.
I had high hopes for Taylor, but his playing time is dropping and Cueto is solid, but a step below Verlander. I'd rather not think about the potential I could be giving up in the prospects.
Thanks Alex for the quick and easy trade.
Dropping guys in fantrax right after this.
