Padres/Phillies APPROVED

[padresgm]

My 3rd trade attempt...let's hope this doesn't get vetoed again...

Phillies get:
SP: Madison Bumgarner (3) 1M
3B: Pedro Alvarez (3) 1M
Zach Wheeler (Prospect- FREE)

Padres get:
LF- Nelson Cruz $1 mil (6)


I accept. I have changed my mind, and I want to contend, now! I trade away a prospect who won't play this season probably, a promising young 3B, but who only hit under .200 last year, and another promising SP, BUT......I get an already proven all-star, a franchise player in LF, Nelson Cruz. I feel this trade greatly helps me contend for this season. Good luck to the Phillies!

Well heres my opinion on it. Cruz hasnt had a full season recently, bumgarner i think ended up making the all star team last season. Alvarez had a good rookie season so im relying on him to come back. Wheeler is a potential september call-up, and if not that defiantely the next season at some point. I stay young, gain on the farm system and lose 1 mil. accept

[White Sox GM (Michael)]

Approve, nice deal. If Cruz can stay on the field, he's great...Bum is a very, very good young pitcher.

[Marlins GM (Kevin)]

Approve

[Tigers GM (Alex)]

Pads definitely loses long term... but approve I guess.
