Angels accept.

My trade rationale for dealing Lamet remains largely the same as it did for my prior deal with TJ. I do not necessarily view my roster as one that will contend this season (or likely next season). By the time that I could contend, Lamet will either be very expensive to retain or he will have fallen off in production and then I would not be able to maximize his value.

Diamondbacks reached out and was interested in acquiring Lamet after my prior trade did fall through and I feel that Carroll and Malone combined provides me with more future potential value than Trammell alone.

Thanks to Bob for the discussion and I hope that Lamet kicks ass for you!

Arizona accepts

I expect Lamet to settle in as a top 2-4 SP and strengthen my rotation. He has had a solid start to spring training so I decided to make a push for him knowing I would have to beat the trammel offer

I am on the road for a few hours and will make my fantrax drops shortly

[Pirates GM (TJ)]

We need contract years for the two prospects, and Malone is listed with the wrong organization. I'll approve once those corrections are made. Thanks.
