Rangers and Rays have reached an agreement pending Rays online approval and league review.
Rangers send 2016 FYPD 1st round pick #26 overall
Rays send RP Brad Boxberger $300,000 (2019)
I hate to give up a first round pick and have actually been looking to acquire picks, but I need some help/depth in my bullpen. I am hoping Boxberger returns from injury and is either a closer or solid holds guy this year and the next two. With Papelbon's contract expiring and my team full at the resign, I need to find back end guys for the next couple of years.
Since a first round pick is involved, would appreciate a quick review so we don't hold up the draft.

This seems fair enough. Boxberger doesn't look like he's going to get the closer role back at this point. But there's always potential down the road since he has some experience with it, and he should be a decent holds guy regardless.
Approval #2

They're both B- value in my mind. I think I slightly prefer the FYPD pick, especially as Colome is most likely the closer for the Rays now, but it's fair enough.
Approved 3-0. I'll update the draft picks
