Makes it easier to pry some young pitching loose from the Rays.

I personally don't think De Leon is a starter, but hopefully TB thinks he is and is willing to part with someone accordingly.

Seal Boy and Zagunis for Andriese.

Friedman's gonna make the most efficient 88 win team you ever saw

Didn't see this coming. Forsythe is a good player but this is a great deal for the Rays. Have to wonder if they move another starter and if we're in on it.

Forsythe is a solid player. And I don't really have a problem with this deal for them. I don't love it, but it makes sense for them. But it sure seems like Friedman puts in a lot of effort to barely improve his team -- like, he's used way too many assets (cash and prospects) to only be this good. It's fine that they are willing to pay a bunch of money to chase a half-win here and win there. But with practically unlimited funds, it seems like it would be easier to make substantial improvements. And they keep treading water.

Its the second time Friedman has traded for him. Very theo-esque.
