Rays/Astros trade

[Rays GM (Kyle)]

The Houston Astros trade:
SP Walker Buehler LAD 22: $0.5M PP-2022 (w/ Astros Flex Tag)

to the Tampa Bay Rays for:

CI Coby Mayo BAL (Prospect)
P Taj Bradley TBR (Prospect)
P Ryne Nelson ARZ (Prospect)
OF Stephen Piscotty OAK 22: $1.5M

I hate to part with Mayo and Bradley, but this addresses my biggest weakness in a big way

Astros to agree

First Blockbuster of the Astros teardown. I was going to be hard-pressed to keep him after the year and the RFA compensation in here is a joke. Two top 100 prospects and a guy that BA hung a 55 on seems like the proper or close to proper compensation for one of the best and consistent PP starters we've seem over the last 3 seasons plus that I've owned him. Piscotty is the garbage I'm cleaning up for Kyle so he has room for Buehler plus some. Thanks Kyle and Good luck.
