Anthony DeSclafani also is involved in the deal!!!
Another salary cut!! Huzzah!!
Jorge Polanco is guaranteed $11.25 million (or $22.5 million over two years if the team option is exercised).

We'll see how much money the Mariners are sending to offset Anthony DeSclafani's $12 million salary.

Tough to lose Topa and GG but I like the trade.

That ~.800 OPS looks a lot better than the .700 guys we have laying around.

I remember big sexy wanted Polanco a year or two ago.

Dipoto's always just a little late to the party.

Now we have an abundance of 2B instead of SP. Seems less than ideal, but I'll take Polanco over Rojas.

Sorry to see G2 hit the road, but I think he was going to fall down prospect lists at higher levels. I'm not sure there's much difference between him and Spencer Packard, for instance, other than age. And trading Topa makes sense, though it creates a hole in the bullpen. But Topa's a 32 year old arb eligible late bloomer and you're getting back an everyday player. And the other guys don't matter. This opens a spot on the 40 as well, which makes me wonder if there's another move coming. Maybe trade for a reliever?

A bunch of injuries the first four months of 2023 but finished the last 2 months healthy and hit .265 with a .837 OPS in 202 PAs. Full time.
