BOS/OAK trade

[Oakland Athletics]

OAK trades:
Joey Gallo $4.50/1 year
Jesse Winker (MiLB)
Bobby Bradley (MiLB)
2018 2nd (TEX) 2.12

BOS trades:
Michael Kopech (MiLB)
2018 4th (BOS) 4.19

I agree to this deal. It seems like a steep price to pay but I needed some better pictching and I was willing to give up some offense to do that. Hopefully Kopech will be up this year at some point.

Not easy to let go Kopech.

But I needed depth at 1B and OF (RF in particular).

I hope that Winker will hit for power and that Gallo will improve.
Maybe Winker can learn from Gallo and Gallo from Winker, ha! :-)

Bradley is the wild card. I hope he can replace Gallo when Gallo’s contract is up.

Boston also PM'ed me that he would be releasing Randal Grichuk I forgot to include that in the trade details
