St. Louis Trades:
SP Zack Grienke, LAD, 2015, 7.1 1B Adam Lind, MIL, 2015+, 2.0
Washington Trades:
3B David Wright, NYM, 2016, 10.5 SP Luke Weaver, STL, 1st, 0.3 www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=weaver000luk SS Trevor Story, COL, 1st, 0.3 www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=story-000tre OF Nick Williams, TEX, 1st, 0.3 www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=willia005nic
St. Louis Cap +2.3 / 107.8 Washington Cap -2.3 / 104.6
This is the kind of deal I'd be waiting to make. Grienke is a stud, an ace, but he's a free agent at year's end, and I didn't plan on brining him back. Lind has been a free agent bargain, and his 2016 option makes him a bargain next year too. But my plan here is to build for 2017, and ultimately I could live without both these players. I take Wright's albatross of a deal on my books under the same guise, that I plan on competing in 2017. Williams, Weaver, and Story add real juice to my farm system, and both Williams and Weaver are "my guys" as a Ranger and a Cardinal prospect. Story has been raking in Colorado's minor leagues, and my guess is Tulo isn't too much longer for that club. I really like what this deal does for my long-term outlook. Thanks Washington, that got done quickly.

Accept. I don't lose any of my top tier prospects, while gaining one of the top pitchers in the league. I'll need to resign him but will have room to do so this offseason. Thanks St. Louis
