Trade Between Padres and Red Sox

[Chris (Former Red Sox GM)]

Red Sox get:

Ervin Santana ($12, $12)
James Russell ($2.6, $2.9, 3.2)
$2m off of Santana's salary for 2014 and 2015

Padres Get

RA Dickey ($9) and $6 toward his salary for 2014
Glen Perkins ($2.2) and $1.5 toward his salary for 2014
Jonathan Papelbon ($9, $9) and $6 toward his 2014 salary


I get a good pitcher for next year and give up 2 expiring contracts and an expensive closer.

[Matt (Former Padres GM)]

I accept.  I'm losing my long term flexibility but I'm boosting my bullpen for a run this year.

Red Sox do not have salary cap for this trade.

[Braves GM (Jared)]

Couple quick updates to make this trade work. I don't think we need a revote, but if you feel otherwise, please let us know.

To make the cap work, Santana will have $8MM of his salary covered by the Padres, instead of $2MM, and the Padres will receive the Red Sox 6th round pick as compensation for the extra salary. Let me know if you disagree with this. Thanks

[Matt (Former Padres GM)]

Just to clarify, it will be $8m on Santana for 2014. The $2m on 2015 will remain the same.
