I forgot to post my rationale for making this deal:

Avila will be a free agent after this season and I'm not contending in 2015, so it was an easy choice to try to at least get something for him instead of letting him walk for free. There is a chance that Utley could turn it around next season but his age makes me doubt it and I wanted to free up his 2016 salary. With regards to Teixeira, I wouldn't have moved him if I thought I could definitely contend in 2016 but that is looking unlikely and $22.5m is a lot of future salary to clear. Plus, while none of them are absolute blue-chippers, I do think each of the prospects acquired has a strong chance of becoming a big leaguer and the draft picks are certainly helpful.

I have no clue what San Francisco's plan is acquiring old overpriced players but they are sure sticking to it.  Taking into account the salary Detroit is dumping the return is adequate.  :iatp:

And over 50% of your available cap space for next season. Stick to your guns we all have different strategies.
