Pit -- Tor

[Steve (Pirates)]

Pirates Trade:

Ian Kinsler 14:$13.4M, 15:$13.4M, 16:$13.4M, 17:$13.4M, +

Francisco Liriano 14:$8M

Jays Trade:

Colby Rasmus  14: arb

Daniel Norris [prospect]

John Stilson [prospect]

Jays +21.4mm

Pitt - 21.4m

I accept, I can use Rasmus in the field, hes on a one year deal like liriano so that's a wash and I get a couple spects I like for my extra 2b.

[Silvio (Blue Jays)]

I accept.

Sorry it took this long - Pirates proposed me two deals, and posted this one first. Regardless, from my perspective Rasmus and Liriano are a wash since both have only 1 year left of control. I figure Rasmus through arbitration anyways will get close to $7-8 million in 2014. It's tough giving up Rasmus since I think he's extremely underrated, though getting an arm like Liriano strengthen my rotation even more. As for Kinsler, I needed a second baseman and it's not like there was much available on the FA market (unless I wanted to spend all of my cap on Robinson Cano). Kinsler when healthy in my opinion can be an elite second baseman and at $13.4M AAV, his contract isn't absurd. He's locked up for four years which made it easier for me to part with prospects like Norris and Stilson.

[Troy (Cubs) (LM)]

Approve, although I think Kinsler is worth more than that.
