Indians trade:
Jeff Samardzija- SP, 6th, 3.6 Dexter Fowler- LF, 6th, 1.0 Juan Francisco- 1B/3B, 4th, 1.0 Matt Wieters- C, 6th, 1.0 Josh Rutledge- 2B/SS, 3rd, 1.0
7.6
Jays trade:
Ian Desmond- SS, 5th, 2.8 Salvador Perez- C, 3rd, 1.0 Christian Yelich- LF, 2nd, 0.5 Ryan Vogelsong- SP, 2014, 3.0
7.3
Giants cap: -0.3 Jays cap: +0.3
I'm doing this to get younger and have some SB on my squad. I think Yelich turns into something great, and Desmond bounces back here shortly (that BABIP is just far too low). Perez replaces Wieters and Desmond steps right in now that Andrelton is injured. I don't think I'll miss Shark with Vogelsong taking up some of the slack. This also gives me 3 fewer guys to re-sign at the end of the year.
Great, easy talks, Jays.

I did type up a long nice explanation and the website zonked out and it didn't post. Basically I am tired of being in the middle of the league so this is a shake-up trade. I'm attempting to stockpile a bunch of SP, so I can concentrate on fixing my horrible offense. Getting the discount on Samardzija is my main purpose for this trade, so I can hopefully re-sign him at a reasonable price. I like having the option on Fowler and Wieters as well, if they have good second halves I I will attempt to resign if not I can look elsewhere. Francisco looks to be a part of the Jays big boppers and should hit 20 hr's. And Rutledge can hit if he can find a place on the Rockies infield someday, or get traded. IF Desmond and Perez revert to form and Yelich reaches his potential this trade may be iffy for me, but that is no guarantee and I am looking to next year to make a serious run. Thanks Indians.

Sal Perez is a 3rd. Could you please change it?
