ATL and NYY sign the East Coast Trade Agreement

[Mr.TradeKing]

After many hours and unexpected turns, the Bravos and Yanks have made a deal.

sends:

MI Uggla, Dan, $11.5m (2013) - Braves will cover $5m(2011) and 3m(2012)
SP Chapman, Aroldis, $4m (2012)
OF Eldemire, Gauntlett, $0.5m (P-n/a)

sends:

CI Laporta, Matt, $0.5m (P-2012)
SP Pineiro, Joel, $5.5m (2014)
P Jeffress, Jeremy, $0.5m (P-n/a)

I hate to see Uggla go, as he is a top MI, but I have my needs which happens to be CI at the moment due to David Freese's injury and SP. I also hate to see Aroldis go since he has all the potential/talent in the world, but once again, team needs. I get LaPorta who fills that need and has good upside himself. Pineiro re-joins the ballclub after a brief stint last season and is immediately our #5 SP, once again filling a need. Jeffress replaces Aroldis in the pen, hopefully he has kicked the habit of smoking pot (or at least the habit of getting caught smoking pot). Congrats Daniel on your first "official" trade as a member of FGM.   

Daniel to confirm.

Decent trade for a big market team I must say.

Approved.  Uggla needs to get it going, Laporta has great potential.  Piniero is a good under the radar arm, Chapman is nice, but limited by relief role.  Looks good for both.
