Why not? We get some talent, maybe they stay, maybe they don’t, but some are upgrades for our terrible Padres squad.

I accept. Gives me a chance to dump some salary and gain some cash to help me out in IFA. I've been trying to get rid of these guys for a while now.

I don't even know what to begin to do with this.....I almost have to appeal to our admins to gauge this.

yeah when I first saw this was like how the heck am I supposed to value this trade and whether it is fair. I do see the dodgers GM's point is if he has been trying to get rid of these guys for a while, but to me this is very hard for me to delve into and I don't want to until Andy's request is taken care of and the admins look at it

It's already in the file, I don't like it but most of the guys have crappy vitals especially relevant to their overall and LAD shopped the crap out of these guys predeadline to no avail. So while it's not agreeable I don't think it's a competely dumb or unfounded decision made by a GM who's going to bail at the site of a rebuild.
