Among Hector Olivera's signing bonus, Michael Morse's 2016 deal and Bronson Arroyo's 2015 deal and buyout, Dodgers eating ~$43.5M in money.

Welp, we officially have our hottest topic of discussion for the next few years. Yay?

 

[gilesfan]

It pretty much never works out. I would love someone to do an in-depth study on it, but 'going for it' sounds better in theory than it proves to be on the field in reality in pretty much every instance.

Of course you can't predict what he's going to do in the playoffs; that's precisely why it's a bad deal.

And often times the prospects give you nothing. There are 2 parts to every trade.

Braves get a few million in salary relief by dumping Arroyo for next year's buyout.

Somehow still have Chris Johnson.

I gotta say, I would have expected a LOT more for Wood, Peraze, Uribe, KJ, and JJ than Olivera and a pick

Total disaster

We got more than that. Also Wood and Peraza are the only 2 valuable assets in that group

 

[sturg33]

Just in disbelief there's not more to it.

Yah that was about two pages ago...

 

[gilesfan]

so we save $10mil or so on his deal so it's like getting 5 and a half years of olivera for about $22mil

how so?

 

[UNCBlue012]

Alright Hart. We have a ****-ton of money and a load of prospect. We better freaking improve like no mans business this coming off season.

To Dodgers: Wood, Latos, Morse, Avilan, Johnson, Peraza, Arroyo

To Braves: Olivera, Paco, Bird, pick

To Marlins: Brigham, Guzman, Araujo

 

[sturg33]

how so?

We save $4M on Arroyo's buyout next year.

Plus whatever he was owed this year.

But everyone assures me we can't carry money over so that's meaningless

 

[yeezus]

I sincerely love reading the whining.
We traded crap for Uribe and signed KJ for nothing...and yet some are whining about the return for those guys. What?

Wood is not near the impact guy Price, Hamels, and Cueto are. Those guys win you a WS at their best.

 

[zbhargrove]

Better be an awesome pick next year

 

[yeezus]

Keep spinning buddy. The Tigers got more for 2 months of Price. Hart got played

YEAH TOTALLY WAHHHHWAHHH

 

[smootness]

What do we even save with Arroyo? 4.5 million?

Probably about 6 total. Yippee.

 

[mqt]

That just helps even it out a slight bit. But we were taking on money to add talent. Now we're dumping more proven talent in part to save money. Huh?

I'm not a fan of this trade, but that's a poor representation of what Hart is doing in the deal. We're trading established talent for Hector Olivera and Zach Bird. That we dumped Arroyo's salary is just an add-on.

 

[dak]

Inclusion of Arroyo HUGE difference from what was reported earlier. In a sense, the Braves can consider Touki as part of the return in this LAD trade. Makes situation considerably better.

 

[yeezus]

Exactly. Talk about "spin"...

 

[smootness]

And often times the prospects give you nothing. There are 2 parts to every trade.

The results, on average, come out far in favor of the prospect hauls.

We get it. The FO does no wrong.

It doesn't matter what we traded for Uribe... he had value and we gave him away.

Regardless of that deal though - which doesn't mean a lot. This is one of the worst deals I can remember. I can't fathom how LAD talked Peraza into the deal.
