A's and Padres agree to deal.
RP Axford, John, $0.5m (2011)
P Belisario, Ronald, $0.5m (2010)
C Perez, Carlos, $0.5m (P-n/a)
for
MI Cumberland, Drew, $0.5m (P-n/a)
P Sampson, Keyvius, $0.5m (P-n/a)
I deal one of my two young C prospects and two MLB bullpen guys for a prospect MI and very young SP. Axford's 2010 made him too expensive for me to resign in the long run. I really like Cumberland's ability with OBP and his speed at a premium/shallow position. No one in front of him in SD either, could be leading off very soon. Sampson is a young fireballer, with 3 good pitches.
Thanks Chris, confirm when you have the opportunity.
