Blue Jays Accept. After hearing Das' interview today he mentioned straight cutting Kershaw, and I figured I could offer him more than just cap space. I decided to speak his love language... draft picks. I have cleared some cap room with moving Cron and Mancini and I figure I am not going to find a free agent better than Kershaw so might as well take a swing! Thanks for the easy talks as always Das (Former Giants GM)!

Giants accept. I have been actively shopping Kershaw since trading opened, I've got to a point that I was willing to simply cut Kershaw based off the interest I received in my efforts trying to trade Kershaw. After the interview, I thought I would get someone to take Kershaw and Stephen called dangling draft picks in front of me. It's the best offer I've received and Stephen is likely getting a bargain. However, making this move allows me to keep Bryce Harper and Vlad Jr, so I appreciate the draft picks and hope I can make them turn into something. Thank you for the trade talks and best of luck.

Seeing as veteran pitchers like Lynn and Verlander are signed at $21M & $20M respectively, I supposed a $6 bargain? is worth a 6th and an 8th. Das saves an extra $1M by doing this and also gets two draft picks. Good for both teams.
