OF Kubel, Jason, $3.5m (2010) - RFA
I agree to this deal because it helps me obtain a very good young C for the future. Castro provides adequate Power and good OBP skills. I also gain some cap room as well by moving Marmol. Kubel has been identified as an RFA, but the A's would not be able to be competitive in his bidding.
Kent, thanks for the dealings. Confirm when you have the opportunity.
