He is working on a sign and trade deal where ARZ signs him and trades him to MN. Haven’t heard whose going to ARZ. I like Cruz and would potentailly be a setup man for the twins. I’m not sure who would be available for you typically in the first round. It all depends on how much middle relievers help in your league.

Fantasy wise, I agree with garrioch13. If your league rewards holds, he is of that much more valuable. Moreover, I think that MLB and the MLBPA are opening up a mess in “real” baseball. I don’t think they should sign off on these sign and trade deals for Type “A” free agents. The union and MLB agreed through arbitration on what the parent clubs compensation should be. Allowing the team to solict offers while working around the system is the equilivant of trading draft picks - something I would be in favor of, but currently not allowed.

I certainly wouldnt trade anything for him in a fantasy league. Im pretty shocked he’s made this much news this offseason, though to be fair its essentially because he’s a fluke Type A who isnt good enough for anyone to consider giving up a 1st rounder for. Take a look how many teams have given up on this guy… he’s a nice arm, but he’s just an average-ish pitcher.
