To Blue Jays:
1B Darin Ruf (0.5M 2015) (ARB 2016-2018)
To Braves:
RP Brett Cecil (1.3M 2014) (ARB 2015-2016)
I get a cheap 1B with some pop. I think Ruf will get some AB's in Philly with Byrd being old and Howard injury prone. He had an .800 OPS with 14 HR's last season in over 250 AB's. There is a possibility of a Mike Morse breakout if he gets playing time. I'll still look to improve at 1B long term, though Ruf would still be a decent bat off the bench. As for Cecil, tough trading him, as he was a main cog in my BP. My BP has really thinned out over the last month in trading Carpenter, Loup, Bailey, Walden etc, though I think I'll be able to add another cheap young arm or two before the season starts and I get to save close to a million with this deal.
