Theo was in the AL East as recently as 2011, while the other two big guys had been in the NL West for a long time. Although I don't think there's any extra familiarity with being in the same division anyway. -
No, because they could have signed without making any of those trades.

Paul Sullivan retweeted it.

I saw somewhere in the madness that is my Twitter stream right now that we're sending some money with Marmol, like $2m or something. That sounds right. If we were saving about $3 mil on a guy we were going to cut in a couple days anyways, that would be crazy. Unless less I missed something we just saved 2.5 million on the Marmol Deal. I read we sent 2.5 mil to the dodgers with Marmol. He is owed 5mil for the rest of this season. And they took back a guy owed a little under $2m.
-
I would phrase that a little differently, since they are saving on 2013 major league payroll costs and only acquiring the right to spend more money on minor leaguers. I wouldn't be surprised if part of the motivation for the trades was a need to shift expenses in that way.
-
is it valuable? It seems the Cubs are the ones spending the most on it. If they were out of the market it may plummet in value.
-
I'm guessing they saved ~$5m and have the right to spend an extra ~$1m at this point. (didn't realize you were already doing the net change in pool)
-
it has to be a factor if that's the deal. They saved $2.5m, which is relatively close to what they saved by dealing Feldman (presumably)
-
I'd be curious how much 2013 payroll (and slot space) they trade away versus how much slot space they bring on. I am assuming they will be saving money overall by shift 2013 expenses away from 2013 payroll and toward more kids.
-
those would be big slots, would they not? Bleacher Nation says roughly 800k. That's nice, big slots are good.[/grace]
-
those would be big slots, would they not?
-
The Cubs are trading away bonus slots? WTF?

http://www.philly.com/philly/sports/flyers/20130702_Goaltending_on_Holmgren_s_free-agent_list.html There are quite a few goalies out there, aren't there? I hope he's not getting a raise. Wait, he's only 30? Coming off a strong season he's going to get a raise isn't he?
-
Well, he's nothing special, but he was having a good year and those guys tend to get you nice returns.
-
They aren't working at PriceWaterhouse.
-
I would hope they at least aren't picking up the rest of the tab on Feldman.
-
Rusin. which probably also means every reliever.
-
I didn't value him that high but thought they could get a prospect, and not a couple of crappy late 20's bullpen arms.
-
except they aren't young
-
about an injury/rehab dispute?
-
So I guess they were concerned the bullpen wasn't already walking enough guys?
-
Exactly, well said. Then why allow the trading of IFA money at all? It's overly complicated stupidity To further benefit the teams that don't want to spend, and provide a compromise for the teams that do want to spend.
-
I am familiar with it but not how it was used in this opening which is why I asked what the hell it meant.
-
Right. This isn't a big deal. It's the most perfectly irrelevant Goony nitpicking tangent possible. I just asked what the hell it meant. Who said anything about a big deal?
