2021 TRADE #04 | COMPLETED FEBRUARY 13th | # OF OBJECTIONS: 0
PED-co Park agrees to send Max Meyer, SP, and a 2nd Round Draft Pick to the Sarasota Splitters in exchange for for Kolten Wong, 2B.
PED-co PARK receives:
- Kolten Wong, 2B
- 2021 9th Round Draft Pick (SOTA)
Reaction: “I’m looking forward to seeing Kolten Wong go to Milwaukee and prosper. It’ll be a fresh start for him, and after having a platoon guy at second base last year, I’m looking forward to having a solidified all-around good player inserted into my lineup. Given how poor my season was last year, I need to beef things up for this year so I have no problems with letting a young guy [Max Meyer] go now.”
SARASOTA SPLITTERS receive:
- Max Meyer, SP
- 2021 2nd Round Draft Pick (PED)
Reaction: “Letting go of Kolten was going to be a tough move no matter how we did it. But thankfully we found an opportunity to send Kolten to a franchise where he fits into the fifteen keeper mix and can have a long-term home. I think PED-co Park did a great job addressing their need at 2B before the draft, rather than risking it to a shallow player pool – and Kolten is going to be a great fit in their clubhouse. On our end, we are really excited about Max Meyer. Minnesota Golden Gopher with a great tempo and demeanor on the mound, we really like this guy’s drive and can’t wait to see him wearing a Splitters uniform!”
