Yesterday, we found a trade partner in the Chicago White Sox for first baseman Daniel Murphy (see the article here) and in the New York Mets for reliever Wade Davis (see the article here). In today’s simulated move, the Colorado Rockies and Philadelphia Phillies came together in a deal that sent reliever Bryan Shaw to the National League East.
In our latest trade, we sent Shaw to the Phillies in exchange for southpaw minor league pitcher Taylor Lehman. Shaw’s $9 million salary for 2020 would be split between the Rockies and Phillies and any options that would vest for 2021 or beyond would become Philadelphia’s responsibility.
