TB/ BOS deal

[patjossom]

TB and BOS reach a deal

TB sends 

Teoscar hernandez 0.3 
+cash paid from prior deal (0.3)

BOS sends 

Kris Bryant 11 11 11 
+cash paid from prior deal ($11 $11 $3)

BOS to confirm 

We continue our retool getting ready for the playoffs already. Hopefully Bryant will be healthy going forward. CF is a hard position to get a replacement so I don’t make this deal easily, Bryant probably fairs better long term but both of us are in the hunt this year so you can’t afford to fall too far behind. Wrist injuries can be troublesome and Bryant isn’t playing very well but I’ll take the chance of him correcting his course. Thanks BOS and good luck.

BOS agrees.

With Acuna on the IR, needed someone to replace him in the OF.
Hopefully Teoscar can continue to perform moving forward.

Not gonna even bother with veto, spare your panties getting twisted. Trade is garbage, you want to spout your recency bias and I'll hear an annoying buzz - Bryant is 28, career WAR 23.8, Teoscar is 27, career WAR of 2.8 (and a .241 career hitter in 1275 PA) - changed my mind - VETO

[JMAC]

Veto as well. Too good a track record and for free for 2 years to boot . Not working for me

[Sky]

Please keep in mind that Bryant is basically only free for 2021 as Hernandez is free for this year as well
Hernandez is still on prospect contract which means I can sign him to a discounted 5 year prospect extension at the end of the year which will give me most of his prime years from age 28 - 32.
Yes. I'm taking a chance on Hernandez but I'm willing to take that chance on a shortened season this year and ability to sign him to a contract extension.
Just try to get to the playoffs and anything can happen.
I've done the same with most of my players like Sano, Franco, Rosario and Lopez.
Good or bad only time will tell.
Almost forgot the most important part. I need a CF as I'm not getting anything as I have no other CF on my roster.

also gotta veto. while teoscar certainly has some potential, I don;t think he has Bryant ceiling potential, and bryant simply demands more imo.
