Tampa/Minnesota Trade

[Deleted]

Tampa sends

Luis Oviedo P PIT (Prospect)

Pick 12.3 in 2021 Draft

Minnesota sends

Dillon Tate P BAL (Prospect)

Patrick Weigel P ATL (Prospect)

Justin Steele P CHC (Prospect)

Reasoning:  Bailey reached out about Oviedo early in the week when I wasn't really ready to talk a trade.  I got in touch with him yesterday and we were able to put this deal together.  I like Oviedo and feel he is flying a little under the radar because the Pirates bullpen and team is so pathetic, it's leaving a great opportunity for him to secure a role there and since he must remain on the Pirates roster, he should have plenty of opportunity.  Saying that, my minors is really bad, and getting three arms that I feel has similar upside for one and a late round pick was a win in my eyes.  Hoping one of the three guys pans out for me.  Great working with Bailey on this deal.

Minnesota confirms.

Minnesota Logic:
I am a fan of Mr. Oviedo. Especially now that he is on PIT, I think he can work himself into the rotation. I am giving away some solid arms to get him, but I am hoping it works out for both of us. The late pick sealed the deal.

Nice talks with Rusty - thanks and good luck.
