Yankees trade:
OF Austin Hays BAL .2 (minors)
SP Trevor Oaks LAD .2 (minors)
A's trade:
SP Charlie Morton HOU 7/2017 7/2018 UFA/2019
Reason for trade:
I contacted teams for SP upgrades, and Oakland offered me a trade that I liked. Hays is my second favorite prospect (on my team), and he is a top 100 prospect by some rankings, so it's hard giving him up, but I get a 12 PPG pitcher in a year where good pitching is hard to come by, that puts my rotation up there with some of the top teams in the league. Plus, I get Morton for another campaign next year, so I can compete with him for 2 years. Oaks is a nice piece, who should be a solid MLB pitcher, but is blocked by a Dodgers organization stacked with pitchers. If he gets his shot, OAK should have a solid pitcher for many years.
