All currently unprotected

Cap change:

LAA - +$0.9
WAS - +$0.9

Being unprotected, I had no real attachment to any of the guys I'm letting go. Suarez will most likely be the most missed simply as a LHP, they tend to get more of an opportunity to at least get an attempt at a middle relief role in the bigs, but in turn, I'm getting another lefty in Silvestre to even that out. Gutierrez and Keller are both not flashy, but have maintained high averages with their time in A ball. So hopefully, if they keep that number around .300 as they have been, they'll be given an opportunity to move up and put their names on notice. Easy talks, Nats, good luck.

I accept this blockbuster trade. Joe messaged me saying that he would like to do a player swap for the players. I have no attachment to these players anyway so it was a easy trade for me. It was just a matter of player preference.

I'm sure this trade will drastically alter the face of the league in 5 years.

Jeopardy theme:
" Who are 6 players that have never been in kitchen... (In fact, six players who I have never heard of period)?

All kidding aside, I respect the hell out of the grind... Putting in work to find guys like this, that are off the radar, but you believe can be an asset to your organization is what makes this game great, I love it...
