Twins Trade: SP Tommy Hanson $0.5M (A 2015) RP Anthony Swarzak $0.95M (A 2016)
Reds Trade: 2014 1st (TOR) 2015 1st (CIN) 2015 2nd (CIN) 2015 3rd (CIN) 1B Dan Vogelbach CHC 3B Drew Ward WAS RP Jonathan Broxton $8.33 M (2015+) OF Xavier Paul $0.5 M (2014) (ARB 2016) RP Jose Arredondo $0.5 M (2014) (ARB 2015)
Kansas sent me this offer, and after an ignorant counter, I obliged and decided to post it.
I'm taking on Broxton and his contract. This puts me over the cap by about 5m, but with dropping some prospects and making a move or two, I should be fine at getting under.
As for the pieces involved. I get the better pieces, and i get some potential with the picks and Vogelbach in return for taking on over 8m.

Draft pick lovers are raging with anger as I have just given em away here but anyways I am a Dan Vogelbach fan I think he may be a lil ways off from the starting lineup. The rest of this shit I couldn't care less about and basically feel like I am cleaning up my roster of horribleness. None of anything I gave in this trade will amount to fantasy points.
On the flip side this trade gets me 1 under the salary cap limit and 2 under the rostered players limit. I also like Tommy Hanson's shot at the Ranger rotation. Swarzak whatever he's gotta be better than Broxton who is the fucking worst money 8M has ever cost someone.
I mean I like this trade for both teams, Accepted.

Veto.
1. You can easily cut Paul and Arredondo w/o penalty, and cut Broxton and save 50% of his contract to accomplish salary relief. 2. You can easily cut Paul and Arredondo, or send them down, to free up roster space.
I understand the point of a salary dump, but I think the inclusion of 2 1sts, a 2nd, and 3rd, and 2 legitimate prospects in Ward, and Bach, is not a remotely passable trade, imo. You also aren't getting anything worth a damn in return really. Hanson may do something, but his value is low and I don't think this a reasonable fair trade.

Veto.
If Broxton is considered a salary dump, it is inconsistent to value him at $8.33M for 2014 and 2015 rather than the 50% fee drop of $4.17M for 2014 and 2015.
