Two more trades to announce!

We have added Jonathan Loaisiga from NYY for Carlos Tocci.

I was pleasantly surprised that the Yankees were willing to part with Loaisiga and very happy with the acquisition cost.

Loaisiga turned 27 in November and comes with 3 years of team control ($1.22m for 2022).
My only concern from him is his below average stamina (45).

Tocci was expendable with the acquisition of Victor Victor Mesa.

We have added Josh Fleming from TB for Matt Thaiss.

Even though he spent almost the full year in AAA (one start in MLB), Fleming is a nice back of the rotation arm who turns 26 in May.
He has above average control (65 rating) and an excellent personality.

By trading away Matt Thaiss, this creates a spot on our roster for Sherten Apostel.

Even though we now have five decent starters (plus three guys who can be a spot starter or long man in the bullpen), we are trying to finalize a deal for another top half of our rotartion starter!
