CIN/WAS Trade (Restructured)

[SactoSolon]

The Cincinnati Reds and the Washington Nationals have agreed to a restructured trade.

CIN Sends

1B/OF Danny Santana - $14M, $9.8M, $9.8M ($4M paid in '22 and '23)
2023 Pick 1.19
2023 Pick 2.29 (from CLE)

WAS Sends

2023 Pick 2.02
2023 Pick 3.20

CIN agrees to pay $8M of Santana's salary over the next two years�and upgrade the second pick from the previous deal�from a 4th to a 2nd, while receiving the lesser of WAS's 3rds than before (3.06 to 3.20). CIN still clears cap room and a roster spot this year for the loss of draft capital next year; WAS still gets the 1st they have been targeting.

WAS to confirm.

Taken on board Ace’s comments on the last deal.

Am aiming to use my cap space to either acquire picks or improve them significantly; hopefully this passes the test for the latter at a reduced cost on the previous deal. Getting hold of first round picks hasn’t proved easy, so am more than happy with the cost/benefit ratio here, while still retaining the biggest cap space in the league to make other deals.
