DBacks/Padres Trade

[D'backs GM (Kyle)]

The Diamondbacks have agreed to trade:

Jon Lester SP - Bos
2014: 13M (The DBacks will cover 6.5M)

&

Trevor Cahill SP - Ari
2014: 7.7M (The DBacks will cover 5M)
2015: 12M (The DBacks will cover 5M)
2016: 13M option
2017: 13.5M option

to the Padres in exchange for:

Justin Masterson SP - Cle
2014: 6.5M

Samuel Deduno SP - Min
2014: .8M (3 of 7)

Tanner Scheppers RP - Tex
2014: .8M (2 of 7)

&

Felix Jorge P - Min
2014: .3M (prospect)

I trade off a top end SP and a good young SP, but get back a good SP, a back end SP with upside, a top end RP that could be a SP or possibly a closer, and a good very young pitching prospect.

[Matt (Former Padres GM)]

I accept. I didn't like giving up Jorge but that's what was needed in order to get some money sent back with Lester and Cahill. I got a small upgrade from Masterson to Lester and a hopefully healthy Cahill for the back end of my rotation.

[Matt (Former Padres GM)]

Bump for votes. This seems to be getting missed.

Veto. The Diamondbacks are clearly not acting in the spirit of the rules. (2-1)

I don't get this....Noah, you have made some good moves this offseason but don't let it be overshadowed by your behavior in the trade threads.
