LAD / Tampa Bay Trade - APPROVED

[LA Dodgers]

LAD trades:

Robinson Cano - $12.80/2 years
Garrett Whitley (prospect)
$2.70 cash for 2017 & 2018

Tampa Bay trades:

Carlos Carasco - $10.10/2 years


LAD does this because it is a corresponding deal to trade with MIA.  Replaces SP I lost in that deal.

@mogpperry You will need to confirm and give a brief explanation of why you made this trade in order for this trade to pass.

Thanks Josh, I'm making this trade because a) I like Cano, b) this gives me the flexibility to use DJ or Cano in trades/acquisitions, and 3) I like the addition of the new prospect Whitley who has a high ceiling. Additionally, having the salary difference of Cano covered gives me the ability to do this without detriment to my Team or disregard for cap space.

I also realized you will need to drop someone on your MiLB roster to make room for Garrett Whitley

[LA Dodgers]

Oops! I didn't realize this trade had not passed yet. I already dropped Cano for Rays to pick up. If I need to pick him back up, let me know. Otherwise please do the same with Carasco as soon as this officially passes. Thanks!

[Oakland Athletics]

Waiting on @mogpperry to announce a corresponding roster move to make room for Whitley

[LA Dodgers]

As long as I don't miss my Carasco start tomorrow...

Thanks guys, and my apologies. I've announced a corresponding roster move in the MiLB thread and am ready to proceed with the trade.

Trade Passed, Please check for accuracy
