Corey forgot to add in cash considerations that travel along with RA.
X-P Dickey, R.A., Cash Exchange on Contract, $-2m in 2011
The Cubs continue to get younger by acquiring Slowey and adding another prospect to the system. While I am sad to see Dickey go, I feel this deal makes more sense for me in the long term, as I now have 3 starting pitchers 27 years of age or younger. With Strasburg's return in 2012, I feel I have set myself up well for the future. Gillaspie is a high-upside player at the CI position, where we have very little depth.
Cubs confirm.
