The Rays agree to trade...
SP/RP - Adam Warren, CHC - $3.7M 2020 KJ Woods, OF MIA
to the Braves for...
MI - Kelby Tomlinson, SFG - $2.0M 2018-19M
I needed to create some cap breathing room so that I could move some roster pieces around and I have a MI mainly destined for AAA. Tomlinson should get 300 ABs as a utility guy for SFG, more if someone goes down with an injury. I hate to lose Warren, but I had one too many long men/sixth starters after the auction. Woods could be a bruising bat in a few years. Had to include him to entice the Bravos to pull the trigger.

Deal...
Rationale: A bunch of the pitchers I went for in the auction got injured (Anderson, Rodriguez, Barrett, Parker, Cook) or were sent to the minors (Butler, Parnell, Janssen). I also traded away a couple veterans for top MiLB prospects, so I am doing everything I can now to field a complete roster. Warren has SP eligibility, so even though his contract is a bit high for long reliever, he fits into my SP slot for the time being. Woods hit 18 bombs in 383 at bats last year in his first full year in low-a, and his OBP of .364 is even more encouraging.
