LAD Trades:
Yu Darvish
$2M for 2018

STL Trades:
Ozzie Albies
Anderson Espinoza
2nd round pick (CWS) (2.3)

I accept this deal. This deal didn't take to long, just a couple quick negotiations. After losing Jose Fernandez I needed another Elite pitcher particularly one that can rack up strikeouts. Hopefully Darvish can put tommy john and his other shoulder issues behind him. I hate giving up Espinoza, but he's got a ways to go to get to the bigs. As I have said before I'm not big on speed only guys. But as a Braves fan I will be Ozzie Albies biggest fan. Good Luck Jorge.

I accept as well, I traded a couple of messages with Josh and we came to the above.

Even though I like Darvish a lot, I feel like I was a little bit overloaded with pitching now that I have David Price and most of my rookies are getting called up, I also realized that he is going to be a FA at the end of next year so I'd need to extend a qualifying offer because he'll probably get a 30M contract as most pitchers seem to do this days. In return I get basically two top 10 prospects and a pick at the beginning of round 2 which I surely like a lot.

Thanks Josh and good luck with your side of the deal!
