Farewell to Wood, Peraza, Jimmy Johns, and Avilans.

*Reminds self that Maitan+ is coming*

Deep breaths. Please by Yimi and De Leon so I don't have to go to bed angry.

The #Marlins will be getting three minor-league RHP from the #Dodgers in their deal, and then #Dodgers are making separate deal with #Braves
 
Fangraphs chat indicated they thought De Leon would be moved today, probably didn't think it would be here

Btw, I don't know if he is or not
 
That would sweeten the deal quite a bit. But there has to be at least one really big piece coming back our way.
Check out Olivera's contract. I wonder if LAD would pay all of signing bonus.

Hector Olivera 2b-3b

6 years/$62.5M (2015-20), plus 2021 option

6 years/$62.5M (2015-20), plus 2021 conditional option

signed by LA Dodgers as a free agent from Cuba 5/19/15

$28M signing bonus ($12M upon contract approval, $7.5M by 8/1/15, $8.5M by 12/31/15)

15:$2M, 16:$4M, 17:$6M, 18:$6.5M, 19:$7.5M, 20:$8.5M

2021 club option at $1M if Olivera needs ligament replacement surgery in his throwing arm any time from 2015 to 2020

agent: Greg Genske

ML service: 0.000

I'm not going to grump about Olivera, as he seems like a nice little option for us at 3b as a middle of the order hitter, but the fact that he's 30 years old I mean... you need to get an elite prospect with him if you are giving up Wood and Peraza.

Braves also getting back major league reliever and another minor league pitcher

Ugh, I'm getting a sinking feeling.
 
I dont care what they pay oliviera isnt worth Wood alone. Mush less Wood plus some valuable pieces.
 
I really like the reports on olivera. I've always though wood was getting moved.

No question Olivera is a great pickup. Steps right in at 3B and could be a true impact bat. Problem is we could have just signed him 5 months ago and kept Wood and Peraza. I'm reserving judgement until we know the full deal because if De Leon is coming with Olivera then I'm happy. Anything short of this I really don't understand the rush in trading Wood.
