Angels / Rangers

[Rangers GM (Stephen)]

Angels receive:
C Logan O'Hoppe (Angels) $0.5 2nd

Rangers receive:
C Gabriel Moreno (Diamondbacks) $0.5 2nd

Caps:
No change


O'Hoppe acquired: mlbbaseballleague.proboards.com/thread/8013/phillies-rangers
Moreno acquired: mlbbaseballleague.proboards.com/thread/7202/angels-blue-jays
O'Hoppe dropped on Fantrax


In a vacuum I would likely lean towards O'Hoppe's upside over Moreno's floor, but the hygiene factor of swapping to a guy whose home ballpark is one time zone closer to me is the real motivator here.
As I age my willingness (nay, ability) to regularly stay up until midnight to confirm whether my guys are playing or not (and amend my Fantrax lineup accordingly) is on the decline. This trade genuinely has the potential to save/earn me hours of sleep across a season.
Thanks James

Angels accept and Moreno dropped.

Basically the inverse rationale to Stephen's when it comes to this trade. Dealing away more certain production in Moreno in order to potentially get a higher ceiling performance from O'Hoppe. I think in the long run they're both very comparable valuewise and getting to acquire a player on my team's roster for the added flexibility/potential discount in the future made this deal worth my while.

Hopefully this also helps Stephen with his sleep in the future as well!
