Much to my chagrin I settled for slightly less than I wanted, but I can't complain.
Naked Truth get:
Alex Rios, OF, Tor, 18th rounder with 3 keeps available.
Kevin Kouzmanoff, 3B, Cle, minor leaguer
Miko's Marauders get:
John Smoltz, SP, Atl, 2nd rounder, keepable if Marauders make playoffs
Even though this wasn't the trade I wanted, nor imo the one that would have helped the Marauders the most, I had to take Rios before miko recinded the deal (for the hundredth time, lol). Rios was obviously having a breakout season before his leg infection, and with 3 low/middle round keeps he'll have to be a total bust from this point forward for this deal to not help my future. Kouz is in AA behind super prospect Andy Marte, but a 3B who hits .400 with power will get a major league job sooner rather than later. Smoltz is Smoltz, and is kicking ass and taking names for the thousandth season in a row.
