The Los Angeles Dodgers trade:
OF B.J. Upton ($14.95M 2017) $3M on the 2014 salary of B.J. Upton
to the Los Angeles Angels for:
2014 Los Angeles Angels 4th round pick 2014 Los Angeles Angels 5th round pick 2015 Los Angeles Angels 4th round pick 2015 Los Angeles Angels 5th round pick SP Keynan Middleton (prospect)
I accept. I would have loved to have given Puig/Upton/Maybin a shot as my OF with the HR/SB potential, but my cap situation won't allow it at this time. Good luck to Matt and the Angels. Good dealing.
Angels accept. Im a fan of BJ Upton and I feel he will be an upgrade in my OF right now. Hate losing middleton but couldn't pass up a chance on upton. Nice dealing with you Jesse and good luck to you and the Dodgers!

This will probably be approved, but a salary dump should be on a player with no value.
BJ Upton can have a 20/20 maybe even a 30/30 season. He's still guaranteed a starting spot and I don't see Jordan Schafer as much of a threat to that.
Sure, he was horrendous last season, but just a year prior he hit nearly .250 with 28 HR and 31 SB. I'm sorry, but if I could get that production at less than 15.0M, that'd be quite the steal.
Sure, Upton isn't gonna garner that much in return because we can't ignore his ineptitude of last season, but he shouldn't be given away with a bow on top.
Veto.

Eh, 15% of total payroll on Upton, plus the year he had in 2013 make it a "buyer beware" type move. Angels are rolling the dice on him, and Dodgers free up a chunk of cap that they don't want to spend gambling on a comeback followed by 3 consistent years.
Approve

fine. Upton just isn't all that special, and at that cost he's not going to create any sort of league imbalance. It's not a great deal, but you can see the logic on both sides.
