Youk is still productive & has $68M left (not $90). As stated here, Youk will be of minimal cost to Cincy with the cash & loss of Pedroia's $12M, while only costing him a spect he had been trying to shop all last season (a season where he also inquired about Youk)
LAA accepting a bad deal to get rid of a bad player in Teix (.230/.300/.400 line, compared to Youk's .290/.400/.500 line) seems like an apples & oranges comparison to me. I'd compare Teixera's deal to the LAD deal for Pujols
