Sporty Strauss for

  • 9th Round MLB

MN Moose Knuckles trade grade: A
Sporty Strauss trade grade: A

Trade Summary:
Another smart trade. Both Johnny Cueto and Matt Carpenter have CRUSHED recently. Carpenter has scored 7ppg over the last two weeks and is hitting cleanup in the Yankees stellar batting order right now. Cueto is averaging 32ppg over his last two starts and 23 points over the last month.

Sporty Strauss is making an interesting bet on recent production, and it could pay dividends. All you really need in MLB is to get hot at the right time, and a 9th Round MLB pick isn’t going to hold him back too much.

On the other side, a 9th Round MLB is still a real player next year. That’s be a probably starting player for the Moose Knuckles, who just made smart moves around the edges of his roster.

Good on both teams for getting this done. Great for both squads.
