:MIL: Acquires
24 yo SP Kasey Mangrum (78/82), Arb '17
22 yo 3B Peter McCreery (69/76), Arb '17
:NYY: Acquires
28 yo SP Scott Elbert (79/79), $3M til '16
This trade is just to get a friend, but I will also sing the praises of Mr Mangrum here.
60s peak player I took in the 6th round of the 2011 draft solely to try to turn into a hitter. I got turned down, and thought Mangrum would be released by season's end. Mangrum instead jumped prior to season's end, and has had continual small jumps every season since, now becoming a borderline bullpen arm/#6 SP, depending on if he has 1 more jump left in him.
Little known fact about Mangrum: He's one of a very, very few player from the 2010-2011 drafts that didn't peak once he turned 24
