Nationals Trade: Kenta Maeda (3 years, 8M)
Marlins Trade: Jose Abreu (2 years, 11M)
I accept this trade. I think it's good in that it fills a need for both teams. From the Nationals perspective I was not all that excited about my 3-man platoon at first base and wanted a high-floor option I think Abreu is. Maeda was a pretty major part of my rotation and I think he will be a #1-2 pitcher for the next few years, but the rest of my rotation is strong so I decided to fill the need. From a contracts perspective the Maeda contract is probably a bit better given that it has an extra year of control and take up a few less dollars, and that's part of what makes this, IMO, a very even trade.
