April 18, 200422 yr In order save $25+ million net (after paying Hampton) we traded Wilson and Johnson to Colorado for Hampton and Pierre. As part of the transaction we agreed to pick up a big chunk of Hampton's salary (which was second only to ARod's contract). When he refused to come here we shipped him to the Braves for Spooneybarger and the Braves picking up the remaining of Hampton's salary at a later date. This season we are paying Hampton something like $9-10-11 million BUT again the net effect after all is said and done is that the Marlins will save $25 million on the transaction.
