I really like Pence. The catcher swap is fine with me i like Carlos and Freddie could be a beast I just hope his contract extension isnt too ridiculous. Pence is expensive but you get what you pay for and double digit power and speed is hard to come by IMO. Accepted.
I am a team battling to get under cap and free up cash for my ARB guys.
I get a moderate upgrade at Catcher. I fill the big hole at SS with a strong option. I lose at 1B going from Freeman to Swisher, but thats the yang to the ying.
While this deal will bite my ass in the future, I get double digit millions of cash for this year which allows me to sign my star ARBs David Price and maybe Tazawa
