Rangers send:

Ricky Romero 7.75 7.75 7.75 13.1opt
2014 2ND (TEX)

Cubs send:

Jairo Beras 100k
2014 2ND (CHC)


Texas agrees to this deal. We get Beras back, a re-acquisition after previos ownership moved him. We feel comfortable with the young arms in out staff this year and add a long term chip to the farm. While we feel Romero will bounce back and has a real shot at 15 wins now that he isnt the teams #1 starter, we also like our odds of moving up the draft in 2014.

I really like Beras' potential but he is still a long way away. There is a reason he got a huge bonus. Hopefully Romero can bounce back and should help me right away. My rotation is starting to shape up now.

Although I think Romero's value is better than Beras, this looks like a cash dump of an extra player for a "stash and hope" guy. Beras has alot of potential, so this could work out for both sides. I think Cubs get a fantastic canidate for comeback player of the year, for an 18YR old prospect, great gamble in my opinion. However, I see nothing that makes me want to veto, so Aprrove #1.

Approve #2. Rangers clearly has targeted Beras in this deal to make-up for the previous owner's trade. Romero is expendable with the other young starting pitchers in his rotation. Cubs continues to shape his major league team by not really affecting his strong farm system. Good deal for both.
