Oakland Gets
Codie Ponce SP 0.2 minors
Griffin Canning SP 0.2 minors

Seattle Gets
Hyun Jin Ryu SP 7/UFA
John Hicks C 1.56/2.04/ARB1/ARB2

Didnt Really want to give up Canning as he has moved into the Top 100 prospect list.
But have Chris Paddack who has also moved into Top 100 also.
Needed A SP to try an hang with Houston and Texas for a playoff spot. Also needed a Catcher.
hopefully Ryu will comeback soon. If Ryu and Wacha comeback soon might have a shot this year.
so had to make a move.

I agree.

The playoffs are a distant memory at this point. Decided to send my rentals out for a shot at a championship.

Ryu pitched really well before his injury, and all reports I've read say he will be back in the rotation soon.

I've noticed a lack of pitching on my squad, so adding a few more arms to the minors will hopefully help in the years to come.

I don't mind losing Hicks as he is just really filling in for Miguel Cabrera for this season. Thanks man, good luck on your run.
