Riddle Me This:
Where did Marlins get $5 to make this deal? I mean, sure after Cain goes to Miami for Davies...wait, Milwaukee doesn't have $9 to accept Cain and needs the $5 included from Miami. Ying-Yang - neither side has cap space to make this deal work. Kind of funny when parsing it out it just can't go.

It's totally clear how the deal works...... makes a lot of sense for you too! I mean you get Lorenzo Cain and an opportunity to re-up him at $13.50 next year and it only cost you $1.50!

The same moment cain ($9 contract) leaves Marlins, is the same moment Marlins clears $9 off his books. In that same moment, he trades $5 (gaining $4 in this part of the transaction).
Then Davies brings his net gain to $1.5.
The whole trade happens at the same time, so Marlins doesn't need an extra $5 to make the deal work.
This trade all happens at the same time though... you can’t pick and choose what happens first this is a common transaction in this league. Accept while I am trying to win this year and Cain doesn’t help me do this

It was just a fun observation that in reality neither team had the real cap space to make the trade work....it makes sense how it all works out, just a funny thing.
Any idea of what Milwaukee got out of the deal in terms of value? The chance to re-sign Cain at $13.50 next year in exchange for giving up $1.50 in 2020 Cap? (Am I reading this right?)

Frees up cap if buys out Cain, otherwise keeps opportunity to resign a solid OF at a pretty reasonable rate next year

Red Sox (Kris): We still have a MAX 20 prospects, correct?
Feb 26, 2024 9:15:10 GMT -5
Ryan (Cubs): Yes. 20 prospects is the MiLB max, you either need to drop a prospect or call someone up if you are over that limit.
Feb 26, 2024 11:56:08 GMT -5
Red Sox (Kris): I don’t, but I know that some do. So, to be clear, we can draft over the 20 limit as long as we cut down before the season starts?
Feb 29, 2024 23:45:26 GMT -5
Ryan (Cubs): Technically you should be dropping a player anytime a draft pick or trade takes you over the limit of 20. I must've missed it but Yankees needs to release one of his MiLB players, they are the only team over the limit right now

Rockies (Jose): Is Yuki Matsui rostered?
Mar 12, 2024 16:15:04 GMT -5
Ryan (Cubs): Technically you can't bid on Yuki in free agency until he pitches an inning in the MLB. You could have drafted him in the MiLB draft, but players that haven't made their debut can't be nominated in Free Agency.

Mariners (Rook): I do believe Ronel Blanco free agent final bid of $3/3 by LAD is invalid and the player should be returned to free agency. That was LAD last transaction and it put his cap -0.25. We can’t go negative cap. What say you?

Ryan (Cubs): @mariners, correct. LAD's bid on Blanco put him $.25 over the cap so the bid is invalidated. I've messaged LAD and dropped Blanco from his roster
