Cubs/Yankees trade

[bridgestone]

Cubbies send to Yanks:
X Hunter, Torii, LAA paying $10m in 2010, $-10m in 2010
OF Hunter, Torii, $18m (2011)
OF Robnett, Rich, $0.5m (P-n/a)

Yanks send to Cubs:
C Molina, Jose, $1m (2010)
P Rzepczynski, Marc, $0.5m (P-n/a)
OF Gardner, Brett, $0.5m (P-2012)
P Norris, Bud, $0.5m (P-n/a)

Upon this deal, Cubs drop:
CI Barker, Kevin, $0.5m (P-n/a)
P Ascanio, Jose, $0.5m (P-n/a)
P Bazardo, Yorman, $0.5m (P-n/a)
P Oramas, Juan, $0.5m (P-n/a)

The reasoning for this should be clear.  With the Brewers stacked, and the Reds and Pirates all of a sudden breathing fire, I can't see my team competing this year.  Torii Hunter will definitely produce, and I am selling him (with the cash from the Angels) to build a better core.

I approve of this deal.  A lot of people were trying to grab that Polish guy off of my team.  This was one of the better deals.  I give up some other young guys, but they didn't have much of a shot to really contribute to the Yankees winning tradition.  Torii Hunter, at $8m in 2010, and $18m in 2011 is a New York type of contract, and I welcome him as we look to repeat!

 :bump: for Dan... this deal, as approved, should put me at 41 - 2 + 4 - 4 = 39 players
