Toronto and Baltimore Trade

[Baltimore Padres (Matt)]

Baltimore sends:
Ed Howard (SS - CHC)
Simon Muzziotti (OF - PHI)
2021 pick 5.15

Toronto sends:
Ty France (2B - SEA) 2021-24 $500k

This might be a high price to pay for France (I've only had Howard for a few hours!), but I'm hoping that he can be a useful piece for me this year. Nice working with Drew on this one!

[Toronto Diamondbacks (Drew)]

Confirmed. I posted a big ole trade block and have now managed to trade two guys who weren't on it. But it started the discussion here with Matt, and we worked something out. Howard is a guy I like a lot, even if it may take him a few years to get to the big leagues. Muzziotti has a nice hit tool, and I'm hoping that some power will come. The extra pick gives me a shot at another upside selection in the draft. Nice talks with Matt that ended nowhere near where they started!
