Phillies Send
Tigers 2020 1st Round FYPD Pick RHP J.R. Graham $300,000 (2020) * might be JR Graham for search purposes (in paid minors)
White Sox Send
3B Maikel Franco $300,000 (2020) RP Archie Bradley $300,000 (2021)
Phillies Accept - I am hoping there is some upside in the tank for these 2 shorter term contracts. Not sure what I'll be doing with them, but I like both guys enough. Graham only included because cap is tight for me.

Believe it or not, Keith and I don’t get along all that well. You wouldn’t believe it from how often we trade but it’s straight up Sam and Diane half the time (you’re Diane in this metaphor, Keith... hate to break it to you). But as much as we argue, we still find common ground.
You ever break up with a girlfriend and then burn every picture you have of her? I’ve never done that but this trade feels like it. With my recent Gallo deal I needed roster spots. And the least useful guys on my roster happen to be two mementos of horrible deals past. One of them mine. One of them my predecessor. I was tempted to just waive them and enjoy the pain. But it was more responsible to give my fans something back. So I shopped them to 9 teams in the last four hours. 5 of those teams said they might not even claim them on waivers. But I had a couple weak offers. And after a brief bidding war this was the result. It’s far less than my franchise paid for these two, but when pictures need burning, they need burning.
Thanks for the quick deal, Phillies. Cheers!
