Just a pure salary dump. Sure Brad Hand and Ian Desmond can help me this year but I'd rather have the payroll space to attack FA like I did last year. Giving up Gimenez maybe wasn't "necessary" but it helped get the dead weight off of the books as well, plus I got back a couple of guys that have some promise, especially Antuna. Thanks Anthony

It's no secret that I've been shopping Chris Sale, and while it hurts to see someone as nasty as him leave me team I like the talent I have coming back my way. Normally I wouldn't add so much talent going with Sale but his contract made it necessary to do. Thanks Brent. Always a pleasure
