I know this flies in the face of the sign-and-trade rules, but I absolutely don't want/need a $6M/6 year setup man when this team has as many needs as it does. Since I didn't sign that contract (and never would have), I would like it if I was allowed an exemption for this deal.
The catcher flip gives me a real catcher and what is essentially a salary "dump" in Seibert.
Also, I haven't received any other offers for Kallen, so trading with an admin here shouldn't be an issue, but if it is, let's talk it out.

Agreed
Paying a non-closer material reliever $36M over 6 years is risky, but given the market for RPs and the return, it's worth the risk. Like Hick said, we know Kallen was just signed, but he's an inherited contract.

Yup, you didn't sign the deal - it wasn't your intent clearly. Approved
