Gio to Russell; Rondon to Moe

Gio Gonzalez has come on pretty strong after a slow start to 2015.
In two separate deals, Russell added Gio Gonzalez to his rotation and Moe upgraded his bullpen by acquiring Cubs' closer Hector Rondon. Rondon has 4 wins, 20 saves, a 1.68 ERA, 0.99 WHIP, and 52 Ks in 53 innings this season. To complete the deal, Moe sent Junichi Tazawa and a 9th round pick to Justin and also acquired a 13th rounder.

Russell dealt his 6th round selection to Toby, and acquired Toby's 9th rounder, Chris Bassitt, and Gonzalez. Russell now owns only 1 selection in the first 6 rounds of 2016 (3rd rounder). His 1st (Toby), 2nd (Toby), 4th (Joe), 5th (Toby), and 6th (Toby) round picks have all been moved to get help for 2015.
