Here is the deal between myself and Omar of the DBacks:
Giants receive:
OF Winn, Randy, $1m (2011)
OF Byrnes, Eric, $10m (2010)
SP Webb, Brandon, $7.5m (2013)
for
OF Bruce, Jay, $0.5m (P-2011)
SP Zito, Barry, $18m (2013)
Jay Bruce was a big price to pay to get rid of Zito's contract. I took Winn and Byrnes strickly to match salary. It will give me the cap room I need to keep Mauer under the salary cap for next year. Webb is a good pitcher if he can return from injury back to form. I am confident Webb will. Even if he misses this year he is under contract for a few more years at a reasonable rate. Zito's contract was a big obstacle for me and I had to deal with Bruce for the breathing room. Good deal for both teams as Zito is still a serviceable pitcher and Bruce is a good outfielder. I would rather have Mauer and Webb then Bruce and Zito is all it came down to for me.
