The Orioles trade
OF Pierre, Juan, $3m (2012)
X-OF Pierre, Juan, Cash Exchange on Contract through 2012, $-2.5m in 2011
The Pirates trade
P Goodnight, Michael, $0.5m (P-n/a)
The Orioles do this trade to get a decent prospect on a contract that I can cut if I need to during the draft to pay bonus money. Juan pierre is not part of my longer term plans and I get rid of his salary next year and the 0.5M Guaranteed salary for this year.
Pirates to Confirm.
