Rangers Trade:
2B - Nick Solak (Rays) $0.3 1st linkRHP - Owen White (Rangers) $0.3 1st link
Brewers Trade:
SP - Yusei Kikuchi (SEA) $0.3 1st link
Cap change: Rangers: -$0.3 Brewers: +$0.3
The pitching exodus continues. Stephen and I have talked Kikuchi a few times now. Even w/ some of his struggles this season, I still believe in the projections/translations and think there is a solid future ahead. I really like what Solak offers, though, and he's ready for the bigs. I'm hoping that the TBR depth keeps him down for awhile and he's still a 1st next year, but we shall see. Owen White is a high upside guy, but a long way away due to TJ. I'm happy to add another good pitching prospect to the squad.
Thanks again, Stephen, and I re-iterate my good luck wishes from our other quite recent swap.

Accept.
Between Travis and Bill, this is probably the fourth or fifth time I've made an approach for Kikuchi. I believe in the translation of pitching skills from Japan to MLB, and am pretty shocked at the performance to date. I've got to think that he'll figure something out, and now I have control for 5.5 years he's got a while to do it. Solak has been off limits for a while and I've not soured on him at all, but I want to make some moves for 2019 and receiving back so many years of a guy already in the majors helps me to push the button.
Thanks Bill, I appreciate the talks. I'll keep a keen eye on Solak's progress, and no doubt rue the day I buckled and let him go!
