Trade is as follows:
Roberto Osuna - $13

Francisco Lindor -$34
to Special K's

I made this trade for a couple of reasons. First, I am an Indian's fan and am always happy to add quality MIs. Lindor's salary was really the only factor which made me think twice. I will only be able to keep him for a year, maybe two. While I could have locked Osuna up for the next four years.

I made the trade to free up salary cap room for this year and upcoming years. The biggest reason for the trade is i finally get a great, young RP who will hopefully get me saves for years to come.

There is an official protest on this trade - Please see protest rationale below
Protest:
"I can't 100% say the trade is unfair but I do 100% believe it benefits 1 team a great deal more than the other this season and for seasons to come. (7 category impact player in return for a 1 category player)
I also think this should be reviewed by the trade committee. I'm not prone to call for a veto on a trade unless there is obvious collusion or one team is just dumping their roster, so I will simply submit a protest here asking for the trade committee to review this deal."
Trade committee is aware of protest and will have a decision soon....
I would like to ask both teams to make sure they have an in depth rationale posted here, Thanks - Commish

i have wanted to trade for a quality RP since my horrible draft a few months ago. I overspent on hitters and had no money left for a decent RP. I have been trying for RP trades for months and finally got it done. To get such a quality RP, I had to sacrifice a quality player. I have many hitters in my lineup to pick up the slack for Lindor. Ryan Mountcastle will be in my starting SS/OF in the next week or so I think. The 2015 1st round pick by the orioles is the leading hitter in AAA. I took this in to account when I made the trade and the difference in salary cap I get back this season and in 2020 will be a big help. Also, getting such a quality pitcher won’t just improve saves for my team, but will also increase 4 other pitching categories not just saves.

Trade Committee reviewed and approved the trade by majority decision - See notes below:
Enough reasons were giving from both teams as to why the trade was made. Both players are tops at their position, with Osuna arguably the best closer in the game. Moving Lindor gets salary relief to Madmel for future moves, while K's gets a big upgrade at MI but also has to pay the salary for years to come if he wants to keep him.
