Rangers trade:

SP Grayson Rodriguez (BAL) $.5 2nd

Cap change: Royals -$.4; Rangers +$.7

Players dropped on trax.

Reasoning: trading one of the best offensive prospects in the game in Isaac, plus two backend t100ish dudes in Marsee and Rojas, plus a IFA flier, for one of the game's best young pitchers. Good dealing as always, thanks rangers. I appreciate you not reminding me of how you first acquired grayson!

[Rangers GM (Stephen)]

Rangers accept, Rodriguez dropped on Fantrax.

Rodriguez doesnt fit with my chosen strategy for 2024, and having him waste away unused on my roster seems a poor exploitation of his value.
I've had Grayson on the block most of the offseason and received pretty modest interest despite what has felt like a pretty lively SP market, and this high risk/reward package looks like the best I can do.
Thanks Jordan

I’m unfamiliar if there have been other trades without both team names included in the cap change. It’s perfectly understandable as written, but just in case the precedent has not been set:
Cap change:
Royals -$.4
Rangers: +$.7

What a fun trade!

[Royals GM (Jordan)]

Whoops I'm a little rusty after a month without trades. Fixed now!
