Phillies - Nationals Trade

[h4cheng]

I was the team paying on Howard so when I get him back the money paid on him goes away. WAS then pays the 8.5m on him.

Before the deal, WAS is paying 12M for 2 players.

After the deal, WAs is paying 8.5M for Howard, Dunn for 8M, Hannigfan for 4, and 1M for another two specs, for a total of 21.5M.

Please correct me if this math is wrong.

WAS is only paying on Howard. The money on Dunn and Hanigan is coming from me.

[h4cheng]

Right. But WAS is still on hook for 7M of Dunn's contract and 4M of Hanigan's deal.

Correct. Our deal should have come out with WAS taking on .5m in cap from the deal.

[papps]

I'm not sure if there was error in the deal. WAS was only supposed to only take on .5m in the deal. I should have only 1.5m in cap after the deal and WAS should not be over the cap.

[h4cheng]

Correct. Our deal should have come out with WAS taking on 1m in cap from the deal.

This could only work if WAS isn't paying anything on Howard.

Before the deal, PHI is paying 8M on Howard, 7M on Dunn, 4M on Hanigan and 1M on the specs, for a total of 20M

The deal wipes out the 8M Howard obligation.

PHI ends up paying 9.5M on Howard, and 2M on Lanna for a total of 11.5M.

This is why WAS is over the cap.

Right, WAS pays 7m on Dunn, 4m on Hanigan, and 1m on specs which is 12m. Them paying the 8.5m on Howard makes 11.5m coming my way and 12m going his way.

7M + 4M + 1M + 8.5M = 20M, unless WAS isn't paying the 8.5M in which case it's 7+4+1 = 12M.

[papps]

7M + 4M + 1M + 8.5M = 20M, unless WAS isn't paying the 8.5M in which case it's 7+4+1 = 12M.

He was getting 8m in Howard in the beginning.

He was getting 8m in Howard in the beginning.

He can't just keep 8M of Howard's money. The trades wipes out the 8M obligation.
