Yankees get:
P Sonny Gray, OAK - 13:$0.5M P Drew Granier, OAK - 13:$0.1M (PROSPECT) 2013 6TH (OAK)
Athletics get:
SP Hiroki Kuroda, NYY - 13:$15M
Place Sonny Gray on 25 man roster Place Drew Granier on minor league roster
Yankees Net Cap: -$14.4M Athletics Net Cap: +$14.4M
Yankees confirm.
Kuroda didn't garner as much interest as we were expecting, but all it takes is one team to be interested and Athletics were that team. Sonny Gray was able to move up in the minors and improve his stats, which makes him very attractive to us as an asset. Granier is a guy who may do something as a 5th starter in the future and the 6th can be a high upside guy we may or may not hit on. All in all, a fair package for Kuroda. Good dealing Athletics.

I accept and I am still planning on trying to win this year. Kuroda has been really solid this year and will hopefully give my pitching staff the extra push that it needs.
