If Izturis wasn't going to make 4 million dollars next year, if he were slated to make a million or so, then I could live with this trade. But the fact is, he's going to be making more than Neifi Perez for about the same amount of production. AND, we had to pay the Dodgers to get him. That's not too big of a deal, considering that that money wouldn't have been spent elsewhere this season, but it's just principle. This trade looks like Hendry was trying his hardest to get rid of Maddux, why the hell else would he pay money for him to go away?
