[Hubs]

And who else has the room in their budget at this time of the winter to take on that kind of Salary?

This is very true. It’s like going from  Morton’s Steakhouse to Chili’s 

Wait 'til he finds out he's been traded to Detroit ...

... which is like going from Chili's to the Golden Bucket All-you-can-eat buffet ...  ("Ask about our to-go bucket!")

Does the thread title have to say “details unclear” just because Strad can’t handle the truth?

Stop being a twat.

The only positive is that RF is wide open for Adell to take off and run with it. I'm more bummed they didn't get Stripling. He'd have replaced Sandoval/Barria/Suarez which IMO would have been a pretty big upgrade.

The deal was never about Pederson....it was always about Stripling....Pederson was a money dump...

I don’t think so.  She is worth more than he is.

Yep.  It’s kind of funny because when you read about what her net worth is it is based on the assumption of the revenue of INO.  Which is never anywhere close to accurate.

Ok here are my thoughts.  The Dodgers weren’t expecting to have Graterol on their team, so when they acquired him to make this trade happen that put them still at 40 men on the 40 man roster.  Then they traded Verdugo and brought two more on the 40 man roster.  So that puts them at 41.  The rumored deal was Rengifo and Ward plus a prospect for Stripling and Pederson, leaving the Dodgers still at 41. My guess is they asked the Angels to replace Ward with a minor leaguer that doesn’t have to be on the 40 man roster.

Same question—-Depends on who that minor leaguer would be....if it wasn’t a premium prospect, we would be stupid not to do it....

Well we don’t know and maybe now that the deal fell through @Jeff Fletcherwill share what he knows.

They are but the money doesn't change so there is no reason for the deal to have to change because of that. 

Did we ever really hear about the money exchanging the first time? I don't recall that but I have been sick the last week so I probably missed it.
