I haven't made a big trade in a while, this is exciting for me.

I really like this deal for both teams. You get a solid catcher and I get a solid 2B. You get a solid SP spec that isn't too old and I get a solid CF spec. You get a role player, a closer spec that needs a rating gain to go to the next lever, and a MR spec that needs a talent boost to be truly useful. I get a young, solid MR. I'm very happy with this deal.
