Cubs/Marlins Trade

[Marlins GM (Dan)]

Cubs receive:
SS Marcelo Mayer (BOS) $0.3 1st (minors, protected)
RP George Soriano (MIA) $0.5 2nd

Marlins receive:
SP Javier Assad (CHC) $0.5 2nd (currently unprotected)
SS Pedro Ramirez (CHC) $0.3 1st (minors, protected)
SP Richard Gallardo (CHC) $0.3 1st (minors, currently unprotected)


Mayer: www.fangraphs.com/players/marcelo-mayer/sa3017114/stats?position=SS
Ramirez: www.fangraphs.com/players/pedro-ramirez/sa3015834/stats?position=2B/3B
Gallardo: www.fangraphs.com/players/richard-gallardo/sa3009990/stats?position=P


Cap change:
Marlins: +$0.3
Cubs: -$0.3


This trade was born from my noting that Assad was not listed on Cubs' roster, but there was no sign that he had been moved. After some back-and-forth, we've got a deal that I think meets both of our needs. I need some youngish arms who can contribute for the next few years, and Mayer was duplicative once I re-signed Seager. 

Dave to confirm - thanks!

[Cubs GM (Dave)]

Cubs agree

Really like meyer, paying a hard price for him, but worth it to me

[Cubs GM (Dave)]

Sorry misspelled Mayer name on my post

[Brewers GM (Bill)]

Mayer acq: mlbbaseballleague.proboards.com/thread/8012/bos-mia-trade
Soriano protect: mlbbaseballleague.proboards.com/post/49815/thread
Ramirez protect: mlbbaseballleague.proboards.com/post/44481/thread
Assad: no transactions, all good

Gallardo is a Tiger in this league, trade acq here: mlbbaseballleague.proboards.com/thread/4193/tigers-cubs

Though not on Fantrax roster, Gallardo does appear on Tigers Proboards roster.

Cubs cap change would be +$0.5 if another unprotected prospect were substituted for Gallardo.

Trade will need to be re-worked.

[Rangers GM (Stephen)]

Thank you for your diligence here, Bill. Good work sniffing that one out.

If this trade is reworked, please post it in a new thread. This thread will now be locked.
