:TOR2: Receives:
SS Freddy Galvis ($500K - 2016)
:TOR2: make this deal to cut some cap. Galvis should be a suitable replacement for Infante, I save $3.5M and gain an extra year of control. I was behind in the draft prep, making it easier to just get rid of the picks. I have a fairly deep system, so feel I can withstand the loss of the picks.
:MIL: to confirm.

Brewers confirm:
Galvis is a favorite of mine, especially at 25yrs old and probably going to be the almost everyday SS, but from a fantasy standpoint I do feel like he has a certain ceiling and I'm looking to restock a farm system that still has a ton of dead weight in it. Not to say that late round picks are going to accomplish this, but it's a start. Playing a numbers game looking for the proverbial diamond or two in the rough; and Infante will provide me some affordable depth for this season's playoff run.
Thanks,
Frank-Brewers

The picks are worthless considering about 1% of players picked in those rounds play a day in the majors.

those are facts.
that's just to name a few. I could go on. there were people who questioned why I traded for josh Harrison before last season, basically calling him worthless as well. I think that turned out ok for me. that, of course, would be an opinion. :toth:

Even if you consider the picks to be worthless, how is the deal unfair?
:MIL: gets the better player, albeit at a higher salary. I get salary relief and take a chance on a younger, cheaper player who has never been able to hold down a job.

The picks are worthless, but the players are pretty much even, so not a big deal.

Yeah, picks aside the player swap is decent enough not to warrant veto IMO

It's not my opinion, it's a fact. Trading actual MLB players for worthless draft picks is a bad precedent for this type of league.

Each team traded an MLB player; the picks are just frosting on the cake.
