I haven't been able to find a place for Neal anywhere, so here I give him up to get the special player in Barnes. Barnes is one hell of a player who might turn out better in RF someday, and I flip carter to Cincy for 2 mid level picks and a good spec who could one day lead a platoon. I also cut $30M over the next 3 years by dealing Neal. Face it, the market is horrible. I'm getting a player like Barnes, cutting money and 2 mid level picks in this haul. Taking Matusz for two years is better than keeping Carter on my team because I don't believe anyone will give a first for Carter, and I needed a way to help sort out the money for JPS.
