Trail, Luke CF TBR 26 93 96 $15,500,000 1 2013
Lee, Zach SP TBR 25 95 95 $19,000,000 1
Soria, Joakim RP TBR 32 91 91 $10,800,000 4

This deal came together rather quickly and not a long, drawn out process like they usually are. It was hard to give up Farrall as I see him reaching 90's contact/power and high 80's eye and could end up a much better offensive player than Trail.
Vogelbach is a BIG boppin 1b but he became expendable once Raskin made his jumps. But, Trail is already a proven very good CFer. So sign me up, BABY!
My 1st round pick and type A comp pick were hard to give up as this draft is extremely deep, but had to be done to acquire these two big pieces.
On to Lee...
Zach Lee was the main piece for us in this trade. I wasn't sold on Wheeler after his latest jump to 89/91 and will probably peak next sim. So I was in the market for another ace and the way the FA market has been going, it just didn't make any sense for us to spend that kind of money on aging, and hurt veterans. Soria is also another piece to help stabilize our bullpen(which was a weakness of this team).
