COL/DET

sends:

SP Carlos Deida 52/80, 21 yrs old , $Nothing

sends:

CF Josh Jones 79, 30 yrs old, $4.0M thru '48

Colorado accepts. Needed to add some speed to my team, and CF is a weak spot. This trade addresses both.

Accept, re-signed Jones this past offseason because i'v always had a little mancrush on him but i'm going nowhere this season so might as well take a chance on a guy with some upside.

Not to throw it on other mods but I'm ok with it if you are. Low-impact sign-and-trade. Won't make or break anyone.

I appreciate JPS taking notice. It's the reason why trade mods are here. This trade is fine, though. The point of the S&T rule is to prevent people from signing/ re-signing players for the sole purpose of flipping them for a profit and taking what would have been a valuable FA off the market.

Jones is not that kind of player and most of the season has played out. In fact about 30% of Jones' contract has played out, so it's really not much different than trading a guy after 1 year of a 4 year contract. The percentage of the contract being honored is the same.
