Hi everyone before i get into today's topic, let me clarify a few things, one, my laptop has gone rogue, i want it to work, but it won't, i'll see if my cousin can lend me hers for a while(she never uses it) for a while at least until i'm able to fix mine, it is what it is, in regards to any ads that may come, i'll do my best to limit it's incovenience, part of it, is not using pop ads who let's face it, are very annoying, if at any time i get any Patreon supporters i'll reconsider or at least substantialyy decrease the number of ads, but for now this is all speculative, i want to reiterate the value of interaction, comments, suggestions, subscribtions feel more than welcome to do it, but with no further delays, let's get into topic.
Anthopoulos makes a trade with his former organization
In a very unexpected turn of events, the Dodgers send to Atlanta, Adrian Gonzalez, Scott Kazmir, Brandon McCarthy, Charlie Culberson and a little over 4 mil in cash considerations in exchange for the most traded untradable player in baseball Matt Kemp, for a dude with a horrible contract he gets moved around quite often, let me summarize what you already know.
This trade is all about Luxury Tax, in terms of money, it was a push, so why would LA give away the possibility of having none of this money in the books next year in the form of one guy who might be an ok innings eater (McCarthy) , AAAA player in Culberson, AGon and Kazmir to pay basically the same amount to a below replacement level player over a 2 year span, if not to get under the luxury tax which cost you 30 mil or so in penalties the previous year, first let me state that the Dodgers had zero expectations about receiving any real production out of those guys, at max a few decent starts out of McCarthy, there's also nothing expected from Kemp, he probably won't make it until Opening Day, and even if he did, he's just plain bad, to Atlanta's side they have the financial flexibility to add on the extra 20 or so mil this year in order to get it all off the books by next offseason, and whatever you get out of Brandon this year is a bonus, i apologize for the typing mistakes that i made, will fix it by monday, try to write long texts from your phone without spell check, it sucks, anyway that's a wrap, eventually i'll get the Larry Walker HOF article to you guys, always a pleasure, Twitter is @E_Max27
Braves fan probably don't like trades with the Dodgers since the disastrous Wood/Olivera swap
See you guys later.
Question, how come SF needs or at least teades away Matt Moore to shed payroll, but were commited to taking on a huge portion of Stanton's salary, i have the answer. Article on that, coming soon
