Oakland Athletics sends: Ryan Madson $1.10/1 year Alex Reyes (Prospect) 2018 5th round pick (OAK)
San Francisco Giants sends: Carlos Rodon $8/2 years $6.90 for 2017 $1.10 for 2018
I accept this trade. This one might sting a little bit. I hate to give up an elite player like Reyes. With him facing a long road back from Tommy John surgery I needed to find another pitcher if I was going to compete this year. I've always liked Rodon, I watched him pitch against Clemson a couple of times back when he was at NCST. I feel like he has great potential, maybe not as high as Reyes, but time will tell. Madson, the pick, and the cash are just kind of fillers in this trade. Hopefully this deal works out for the both of us. Thanks SF, Good Luck!

I accept.
Acquiring Reyes was the goal and i knew he wouldnt be cheap even with his latest injury. I have some SP depth so while losing Rodon will hurt, it wont cripple me. Getting Reyes to stash for the next couple of years could pay off big time if he recovers with a cheap controllable ace for a number of years. The pick is nice too.
Nice to agree on my first trade, good luck to you A's.
Looking to do some more deals.

Giants will waive prospect Andrew Calica to make room for Reyes.
