:TBR: Gets:
-----------------
SS Asdrubal Cabrera (96/96)
OF Bret Gardner (88/88)
:SFG: Gets:
-----------------
SP Justin Lavin (81/95)
2B Matt Rathburn (91/91)
1B Lloyd Vankirk (80/94)
OF Jeremy Twitty (64/89)
RP Manny Mario (74/83)
I accept. I have to move some salary, and this helps me out a TON in that department. I get a cheaper replacement for Cabrera with Lavin, and I get some nice prospects as well.
It's hard to trade Cabrera and Gardner but I specifically resigned Cabrera a few years ago with a trade in mind down the road. Gardner is also coming off an injury and may or may not drop. Plus both guys are 31+ in the age department.
I like the trade for both sides.
Also, all apologies to Toronto and the Yankees. I had promised not to move Gardner until talking to Toronto, but I had an offer I could not refuse, that beat that offer anyway. Also, I had told New York that I didn't want to package them together, but I feel I probably wouldn't have gotten anything similar to this in return from them either. I just wanted to man up and admit I was wrong and apologize, but I gotta do what's best for my team.
