SF/ LAA

[Deleted]

SF gives:

Matt Cain ($20.2m 2017+)
Marco Scutaro ($6.0m 2015)

LAA gives:

James Shields ($12m 2014)
Howie Kendrick  ($9.43m 2015)
Tyler Skaggs ($0.5m 2015, ARB 16/17/18)
$5m on David Ortiz 2014 salary (Currently $6.44m)

I net about $9m cap saving which I need as I'm in a cap crunch.
I get an older 32 yr old SP, but balance that with a prime young arm in Skaggs who has high ceiling, albeit after a rough year.
I get a really nice upgrade at 2B, in quality and age.

angels accept... love cain. losing shields and skaggs was rough but having cain and his long term contract helps. going from kendrick to scutaro is a downgrade...but with scutaro being cheaper ill take it.

Really not a fan of this for LAA. Seems like it is a big overpay here. Shields, Skaggs, and Kendrick are really, really good players. I can see why he made the trade to get Cain's long term contract over the 1 year rental for Shields though. Good move for SF imo.

Approve.
