Pads get:
Hand, Brad 27 SP 92 92 $16,500,000 4
Sox get:
Frederickson, Evan 30 SP 91 91 $15,000,000 7
Pads get a shorter contract, younger player. To me Hand is a better fit for those reasons. He has a lower GB% but that’s ok in San Diego, a pitcher’s park. We get a little better financially, long-term.
I know Frederickson was signed as a FA, but this obviously isn't a trade to help either of us this year, as we're both long since out of contention. He likes Evan, I like Brad, simple as that.
