Rays Trade ----------------------------- SP Chris Archer SP Taylor Guerrieri Rays 3rd Round pick in 2013 amateur draft
LA Angels made this trade simply because we know we won't compete for the championship this year, so getting two prized prospects and a pick for one good pitcher is another step towards rebuilding the team. Archer has already shown flashes of greatness in the majors, so we're hoping he makes the starting 5 next season. While Guerrieri is having a great year in the minors. We will miss Medlen but feel this deal works for what we're doing.
Rays gain $2,000,000 in salary
Archer will stay on inactive 40 man roster, while Guerrieri will stay in minors.

I accept. Need a high end SP after losing price and hellickson. Archer will be missed but guerrerri will be in the minors for a while with the rays depth and how slow they move their prospects. Medlen on 25 man active
