Royals trade: SP Nate Eovaldi (Red Sox) $5 2022 Guardians trade: C Bryan Lavastida (Guardians) $.3 1st www.fangraphs.com/players/bryan-lavastida/sa3006917/stats?position=COF Steven Kwan (Guardians) $.3 1st (previously unprotected) www.fangraphs.com/players/steven-kwan/sa3008536/stats?position=OFEovaldi acquired: mlbbaseballleague.proboards.com/thread/5248/sp-nate-eovaldi-2020-redsEovaldi dropped on trax. cap change: royals -$4.4 guardians: +$4.7 Reasoning: Couldn't resist the urge to make my MLB team worse here in exchange for some cost-controlled prospect crushes. Kwan has been getting some fringe hype for his excellent BB% and K% skills and surprisingly non-zero power, and he is close to making an MLB contribution. I'm hoping the power doesn't completely disappear and he makes the stress of losing one of my best MLB SPs (and an affordable one at that) in Eovaldi bearable. Lavastida had a promising season in 2021 and was rewarded with a bump on prospect lists. He hit a wall in AAA, but still has a decent shot to be a regular behind the plate I think. Good going back and forth, Jay! |

I accept. You can never have enough pitching (IMO) and being a Red Sox fan, I've seen Eovaldi develop into a true pitcher, with an arsenal of 5 pitches that he controls well. While many have lamented the fact that he has overpowering stuff, yet doesn't rack up elite K's, I'll take the move than 9/K's average and the control. Should fit nicely into my SP lineup.
I'm ok giving up the prospects I did. Kwan is emerging somewhat and he's one that I could definitely regret giving up some day. I don't believe Lavastida will remain a C, as he's a long way from developing the skills to stay behind the plate. So, I think he'll end up moving to another position and with little power development, I simply don't see him being an impact player.
Good negotiations Yordan and appreciate the back and forth. Good luck with your specs.
Lavastida has been dropped on Fantrax.
