RP David Phelps (Blue Jays) $1.4 2019 

Cap change: +$.8

Padres give:

C Matt Wieters (Cardinals) $2.2 2019

Cap change: Royals +$.8; Padres -$.2

New Royals total salary: $100. New Pads total salary: $99.5


Reasoning: Handcuffing Yadier Molina, my starting catcher, with his backup, Wieters. Morel could be interesting, but he's enough of a long shot that I'm comfortable with the risk. Easy deal, thanks Bill.

I accept. I have a number of catchers who will see some level of at bats, so it made sense to parlay one into a couple of lottery ticket prospects and a RP who could have a serviceable role if his recovery goes well. Always a pleasure Jordan!
