[USML Announce] Berliners are in the Market--or Maybe Not

[Jeffrey Winick]

And you thought I'd be disappointed?!  I'm thrilled.


I'd like to tip my hat to the Calamari who have just pulled off one of the greatest fleecings, err trades in the history of the USML.  For Marco Estrada, no less.  


Perhaps I'm missing something, but it looks to me like Kerber just: 


Traded away a $5 Gary Sanchez and turned him into a $16 Salvador Perez (No improvement)


Swapped a top notch closer in Osuna for a shaky replacement in Cody Allen (Downgrade)


Turned the potential break-out talent, the $10 Nomar Mazara into the soon to be traded Lorenzo Cain (Risky) and


Sent away Rafael Devers $5, Boston's top prospect and a likely 2nd half call-up for the struggling Marco Estrada (14 ER in his last 23.1 innings)


Happy June 2nd, indeed!


Jeff

I find that getting deals done is usually more important than talking about them.  In that spirit, the Nukes and the Lake Michigan Calamari announce the following transaction:
    From Nukes to Calamari:  Gary Sanchez, *Roberto Osuna, Nomar Mazara and Rafael Devers.
    From Calamari to Nukes:  Salvador Perez, Cody Allen, *Lorenzo Cain and *Marco Estrada.

Happy June 1st!

Sure it looks like Kerber is going to go from pillar to post.  But I've never been one to let a challenge go unanswered.


So I'm looking to load up and see if I can give the Nukes a run for their money.  I'm open to any deal that makes my team better this year, 2018 and beyond be damned.


All of the following guys are available:


Miguel Sano $15 LT18
Dustin Pedroia $13 Y2
Marwin Gonzalez $10 Y2
Blake Rutherford $5 Rookie (BA #37)
Nick Gordon $10 Rookie (BA#47)
Sonny Gray $10 Y1
Lucas Giolito $4 Y1 (BA#40)
Jose DeLeon $1 Y1 (BA#38)
Shohei Otani $5 Rookie
Sean Reid-Foley $5 Rookie (BA#70)
AJ Puk $5 Rookie (BA#79)
Tristan McKenzie $5 Rookie (BA#56)


I don't presume who among you are looking to next year and who among you are prepared me to join in the quest to topple Mr. K.  But if you're among the former group....you know where to find me.


Jeff
