The #73 pick comes with a slot value of $1,128,400. If you believe Tommy White can stick at 3B then you'll probably hate this trade... I don't have that issue. I believe White ends up at 1B/DH and in that scenario, I don't see a way to meaningful at bats with the A's. Estes has been passed up by other young arms in organizational prominence. The Pirates have pitching but I'm hoping the deal is simply too good to pass up. (What I should probably do is find a 3rd team to flip Estes to...)
