This trade is pending the approval of the Nationals/Reds trade, in regards to Penny. The Nationals and Yankees have agreed to the following:
Yankees receive:
SP Penny, Brad, $5m (2012) - $3.0m paid by BOS in 2011
CI - James Darnell - $0.5m (P-n/a)
Nationals receive:
OF Joyce, Matt, $0.5m (P-2011)
Sure enough, I found a suitor for Penny. It costs me a prospect to move him, but in return I get an OF with a bit of upside, who is relatively young, and plays well in this scoring format when in the few AB's he receives. Gaining a bit more payroll helps also. Penny would have been a nice cheap SP for me (avg. 55 fpts./game last year), but I felt that gaining a possible starting OF would be more beneficial to my team. Yankees to approve, thanks Corey.
