To Toronto:
RP Alex Torres (0.5M 2014)
RP Matt Reynolds (580,000 2014)
RP Javy Guerra (0.5M 2014)
To Royals:
SP Brandon Morrow (4.5M 2014 +) (incoming payment of 4.5M from SD)
RP Sergio Santos (2.63M 2014 +++) (incoming payment of 4M from SD)
I hate making this deal since Morrow and Santos' salaries aren't really that bad. Though I get to save over 7M in this deal, which gets me below the cap and allows me to bid on some of the remaining FA's to fill my bench spots and add depth to my minors, which I think is important. I likely wasn't going to pick up Santos options in 2015 and beyond anyways at 6+ M so I figure I'd only be owning him for a year; and same with Morrow's 9M option in 2015. I've been shopping Morrow extensively, and really never got any offers that intrigued me, same with Santos. I get a young reliever under control in Alex Torres, who has great K/9 rates, and now pitches in San Diego. Reynolds meh, and Guerra I likely will drop to save 0.5M. Overall, if I was comfortably under cap, no way I do this trade. A healthy Morrow is an automatic win for the Royals.
