CHW - CIN - jhc54 - 05-03-2015
CHW receives:
CF Enrio Romero (89) 29 YO earning 12.8 mill through 2059
CIN receieves:
OF Todd Burmeister (84) 26 YO earning arb
SP Andy Hare (88) 28 YO earning arb
2B Fred Major (88) 28 YO earning 8 mill through the year
RP Mark Hemphill (79) earning 7.1 mill through the year
8 mill
CIN paying NTC
I accept I get a one two that I will not need to change for 5-6 years
I have never liked hare
Major was going to be cut for compensation in the offseason as would hemphill
Not thrilled to lose burmeister but I want the speed. Since speed kills

This came out of left field (or CF, depending on where Romero is playing), but it makes sense. though he's an outstanding player, his decline has made me reconsider the money we owe him. This move gets us the best rotation in baseball (on paper), bolsters our infield defense, and gives us a replacement for Romero at a fraction of the price. We will miss him, but this is necessary.
