Giving up Luna after just acquiring him hurts a lot. But Yarbrough should be a contributor in RF for the foreseeable future and should go a long ways towards providing some balance to my line up vs lefties. That has been my bane of the Evas for a while now.

Thanks to Kevin for being flexible on some of the negotiations.

I didn't envision trading away from my ML squad this offseason, particularly Yarbrough, who as Kevin noted is still under club control for another 3 years and not at all expensive. But OF is a position of depth for me and I do have my top prospect CF Pat Watson ready to join the big league team in the coming weeks/months. I do expect Kevin will be happy with Yarbrough though, who can be an OBP machine if he stays healthy.

Galvin immediately helps to replace the loss of Harry Crawford, and will at least play a part time role initially at C (Scott Vinson still looks like the better bet defensively) and probably some DH/1B. Jorge Luna has only been used as a relief pitcher, but does have multiple pitches. The problem with him is the stamina isn't great (4), I'm going to attempt to move him to the rotation in AA this year and see if he can build it up to at least a "5". He may end up being a reliever, which would definitely make this trade a little tougher to swallow, but I'm willing to take the risk.
