Tampa Bay Rays - San Francisco Giants trade:
Rays trade:
OF Roger Bernadina 1M (2011)
- 0.5M exchanged in cash 2011
OF Carlos Lee 6M (2013)
Giants trade
CI Casey McGehee 0.5M (2012)
Although I believe Casey McGehee will rebound from his poor 2011 performance, I am getting two productive OF players. Roger Bernadina is young and will continue to improve. Carlos Lee, although not as productive as in years past, is still more productive than the three OF players I currently have. This trade will push me to the limit of my 2011 cap at $99.5 million, but with the expiring contracts I have, I will easily be under the cap for 2012.
Assuming this trade is approved, I would like to extend the expiring contract of Roger Bernadina as follows:
OF Roger Bernadina $1.5 million (2014) - He is currently OF #87 for the 2011 season and OF #91 in 2010.
