TOR Marlins/CLE Athletics TRADE

[Toronto Marlins GM (Max)]

TOR Marlins TRADE: Kyle Seager SEA 3B, $400K (2015) and Rob Brantly MIA C, Spec
CLE Athletics TRADE: Mark Teixeira NYY 1B, $14M ($13M thru 2014) and AJ Cole WAS RHP, Spec

I accept! I think Tex is better than Seager now, has 30/100 ability. Seager may outdo Tex down the line but I have plenty of young talent to suffice. Tex will help my lineup this year and next. Nice dealing Gary and good luck!

I accept. I pare 13M off my payroll and I believe Seager has a chance to be better than Tex next year, let alone the future. I also add a C, which was a spot of serious concern for me as whoever had this team before me only drafted one catcher.

A pleasure dealing with you, Max.
