Royals Trade:
RP- Michael Lorenzen (CIN) 2019: ARB Estimated $1.9M (PP 5/5) RP- Nate Jones (CHW) 2019:$0.665M 20: FA
Cubs Trade:
RP: Phil Maton (SD) - 2019: $0.55M (PP 3/5) SP: Sam Carlson (SEA) - $0.55M MiLB SP: Zack Brown (MIL) - $1.0M MiLB SP: Jason Bahr (TEX) $1M MiLB
Good getting something done with Mac, who is currently driving down a highway in a semi making baseball trades.
I'm taking a big, expensive chance at the remaining upside of Lorenzen and Jones. Lorenzen could be a SP, a set-up guy, or long relief. Nevertheless, I am a fan. Jones arm will probably fall off. If not I expect lots of holds for cheap. Who knows?
And of course, Maton's spin rates will start to translate, Carlson will become a huge post-TJ prospect, and the two lotto tickets become the next Corbin Burnes. Or not. Who knows.

What do I like about this trade? EVERYTHING
Jason Bahr a giants pitching prospect gets traded because SF was making a run at the playoffs. Texas gets a talented SP with a high strikeout rate and has the tools to be 3/4 starter in the rotation
Zack Brown has the tools to be a 3/4 starter in Milwaukee’s rotation. He has very good control and should be a 6-9 k/9 pitcher in mlb
Sam Carlson has the ability to be really special. He can join AJ puk and Alex Reyes as my post TJ boys. I think he has 1/2 starter potential in seattle’s Rotation
Phil Maton actually is better than his numbers say he is. I see him getting more holds opportunities down the line. A full year in the majors and I think we will see an improved Maton
Carlson, brown and bahr will be welcome additions to the royals future
