Philadelphia-Houston Trade APPROVED [TOR, CHI, SEA]

[Gregory (Houston)]

Houston Trades:
Danny Salazar, SP, CLE, (3.5M 2015) to Philadelphia
Rob Kaminsky, SP, STL, (Prospect) to Philadelphia


Philadelphia Trades:
Craig Kimbrel, RP, ATL, (12.5M 2016-2M Paid for 2015 only) to Houston
2015 FYPD 2nd Round Pick to Houston


Astros accept.


We have literally no closers on the roster, nor do we have any other reliever of note.  This is a necessary addition, despite having to give up the best left-handed arm in our farm.

[Dylan (Philly)]

I accept. I'm happy to be getting out of Kimbrels contract I went a little crazy and overpaid big time. With that said I'm a fan of both players I'm getting in return.

[Troy (Toronto)]

I wouldnt want Kimbrel even at 10M. Salazar could be nice if he stays healthy and finds consistent command.

Approve

[Matt (Chicago)]

approve...i like it for philly but i get why houston is doing it.

[Vik (Seattle)]

Approve

Phila wins by a bit, gets rid of a huge salary and gets nice prospects.
