Uncle Leo Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 https://www.fantraxhq.com/2019-top-25-cincinnati-reds-prospects/ INF Jeter Downs was ranked 5th in the Reds farm and RHP Josiah Gray the 15th. Dodgers are getting some prospects and freeing up some serious cash to make a run at someone like Harper or Machado seems like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Leo Posted December 21, 2018 Author Share Posted December 21, 2018 Woah Homer Bailey is making 23M in 2019 and 25M in 2020... are the Dodgers even saving any money with this deal? Plus Dodgers are sending 7M to the Reds to cover Kemp's salary... I'm so confused. So the Dodgers gave up Kemp (21.5M), Alex Wood (Arb 3 - 8-10M?), Puig (Arb 3 - 9-10M?) so let's say 30-32M... But are getting back two solid prospects ... but also giving up 7M and taking on Homer bailey and his 23M... so basically it's a wash cash wise. So the Dodgers gave up a year of Puig and Wood at around 9-10M for two prospects and international pool money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Homer Bailey is making 23M in 2019 and 25M in 2020.. the 25M is a mutual option so he is owed 23 in 2019 plus the 5M buyout total. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Well, since Bailey has been released, can we sign him for league minimum and trade him at the deadline if he's decent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Well, since Bailey has been released, can we sign him for league minimum and trade him at the deadline if he's decent? Yes. But we won’t cause we are cheap and the league minimum is even too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBullet Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 This is a housekeeping trade for the Dodgers but if I'm a Reds fan my team suddenly got interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was NOT about money in any way for the Dodgers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hovertical Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 I can't even fathom what it must feel like to be a fan of a team that ALWAYS spends big and is always amongst the teams rumored to land the big name FA's. It's like an entire second season in that respective sport for their fans. I know a lot of fans are likely the bandwagon variety but I mean there are true lifelong fans too. As much as I'd love to swap my loyalties out my heart wouldn't be in it and I'd still ultimately be drawn to the fate of the Marlins.

They want to stay under the luxury tax now, signing Harper will make that impossible. Verdugo will, as he's obviously a much cheaper option.
