Although I understand the reasoning behind getting three prospects for Clayton Kershaw, which I wholeheartedly agree is justified, the rest of the deal makes little sense. Having a roster with nine open spots, with $77.0m in cap, in the midst of free agency, seems to negate the argument that "there is little need to spend". I would surmise that many of the acquired players will be dropped, but again, I see no need for taking on so many dead contracts for three prospects you should reasonably get for Kershaw anyway.
