Angels trade: 

LF/CF/RF Esteury Ruiz (Athletics) $.5 2nd

Cap change: Royals -$.1; Angels +$.1

Players dropped on Trax.

Reasoning: DeLauter had a good half-day run on the squad but all good things must come to an end eventually. Both marsee and delauter are easy t100 prospects imo but I needed to pay up here to land the tantalizing Esteury.  If esteury hits enough to play -- no sure thing -- he will be very good. Thanks Angels, good dealing!

Angels accept and Ruiz has been dropped.

DeLauter is an absolute favorite of mine and I really like his potential as a 5 category contributor in the coming seasons. I traded him away in another league this season as I made a push towards a championship and I am now feeling some massive FOMO. Getting him here helps ease the sting a little and I look forward to tracking his continued growth. Marsee is a decent bat and helps cover any gap in value between just DeLauter and Ruiz.

Ruiz is such an amazing contributor of SBs and I do think that he'll be a huge fantasy asset moving forward. However, DeLauter's overall potential outweighs him in my opinion and made this a worthwhile trade.

Thanks for the deal Jordan! I'm glad we finally found something that worked on Ruiz!
