Some of this trade was part of the Konerko-Rizzo deal that we had to wait until June 1. We have combined that trade with a new one. As a whole:
Philly sends:
OF Victorino, Shane, $11m (2014)
PHI pays 2m in 2013
RP Samardzija, Jeff, $1.5m (2014)
OF Angel Morales, $0.5m (P-n/a)
for
CI-OF Cuddyer, Michael, $9m (2014)
BOS pay $2.5m in 2012, $3m in 2013 and $1mil in 2014
P Richard, Clayton, $4.5m (2016)
RP Madson, Ryan, $2.5m (2014)
I have agreed to this trade to get the flexibility with Cuddyer. He is also a little cheaper. Madson I believe will be back next year and we be his old self again. Richard is an ok pitcher. Samardzija was tough to give up as he was part of the Konerko deal but I think he is pitching better than he is right now. As always, thanks for the negotiations Jeff
