Title: Pirates in arms race thanks to trade with Blue Jays
Post by: Colby on October 09, 2010, 10:02:07 PM: Thanks to Daniel, the man from way down south (Venezuela) who manages a team way up north (Canada). Okay, Toronto isn't that far north! I get two of my favorite young pitchers in the game. I had salary cap, but I don't plan on jumping in the crazy free agent market with the rest of you guys.

:PIT: receives
CI Kotchman, Casey, $5.5m (2013) + $3m from :TOR: in 2011
P Guthrie, Jeremy, $0.5m (2010) <- Immediately extending (69th SP in 2010) to a $4m (2013) deal
SP Scherzer, Max, $1m (2010) <- Immediately extending (36th SP in 2009, 44th SP in 2010) to a $9.5m (2011) deal

:TOR: receives
C Anderson, Bryan, $0.5m (P-n/a)
P Tomlin, Josh, $0.5m (P-2013)

This deal leaves me with $1m in cap room, a PITA liability in Kotchman and my most expensive player in Scherzer. I have a lot of prospect extensions that I could make, but at the end of the day I run a small-market team, so if I want to make a run, I need to throw money at free agents - or pending free agents.

Some faces must go and some new ones shall arrive. Scherzer and Guthrie were going to be too expensive for us, so we decided to flip them away for a couple of young prospects that have a bright future. Good deal Colby, thanks.
