The Royals have agreed to trade
Mookie Betts 20: 28M 21: 35M 22: 35M 23: 42M
To the Padres for
Austin Riley PP2024 Steven Souza PP2021 3/5 Jeremy Jeffress 20: 4.3 Jeremiah Jackson
Padres to confirm
Losing Betts has me physically ill, but that contract is just too much for me to handle. The only way to realistically make it work was to eat 42M this season, leaving me with half a million to add to my team. I made a huge run to the world series at the end of the year last year, but after also having to say goodbye to Encarnacion, i couldnt expect a for sure repeat of last years success. Hooefully Souza is , in fact, fully recovered and can pair with Riley to make up for a bit of production lost. Jeffress, more than likely, will be dropped and the spec is a long ways away and probably wont amount to much.
Thanks Scott, sorry to wait until the last minute, but it was a huge decision. Thanks to the others who offered up for Mookie as well and thanks (or no thanks haha) to the Marlins for the bid.

Padres accept. I’m pushing my window up. While Riley May look like the key piece here, I love Jeremiah Jackson’s hit/power combo that is already showing up. I think 4 years from now he might be the better piece to Riley.
Thanks and good luck Wade.
