trades:Braves 5th round pick [135 overall pick]
SP Jim Cote 93 31yo 19M thru 2033 [note: we are buying out the NTC, the 20% rule will be used. This is just under 19M, with the player option.]
SP Jason Amphlett 76 30yo 5M thru 2031 [JUST traded from SD in Kearsey deal]
1M cash (for the NTC)
trades:Yankees 1st round pick [19 overall pick]
Yankees 2nd round pick [49 overall pick]
Yankees 3rd round pick [79 overall pick]
SP Brandon Anderson 77/86 25yo $nothing
RP Eddie Jones 52/89 18yo $nothing
LF Phil Smith 78 34 yo 16.7M thru 2031
17.78M cash (for the NTC) [note: this is a quick calculation. Whatever the total is, it's around this amount.. I will be paying 1M total, the rest is NYYs]
We accept. Cote is a true ace, and this isn't the biggest turnout we wanted for him, but to lose that contract is a big deal. As he has the 3 years remaining and THEN that player option. Anderson isn't great, Jones is solid but I hope to convert him into a starter. The picks are going to be nice to have. We also traded Smiths 1 year salary for Amphlett so it will help NYY a little in that department, but as said before Cote's isn't just a one year deal. Plus atlanta fans might enjoy watching his fielding blunders.
