The Padres and Nationals have agreed to the following:

Padres receive:
OF Hunter, Torii, $18m (2011) - $8m paid by NYY in 2011

Nationals receive:
SP Young, Chris, $3.5m (2011)
OF Cameron, Mike, $4m (2012)

I decided to take a gamble on two injury prone players that should be 100% come next spring. Young pitched well this September, and Cameron will hopefully have a starting gig in the Boston OF, or something near it. Trading away Hunter does decrease some guaranteed productivity, but I also gain a bit in cap, and I am able to trade away $3.5m and $4m much easier than $10m if need be. Padres to confirm, thanks Chris!

I accept. I get proven production on his last year. I would have cleared Young's cap next year anyways, but cameron was on a bad contract for my team, and he's old old. Easy transaction to complete; thanks Jake. :koolaid: <<<?You didn't post this at the end of your message, is this really Jake?
