This will be processed after FA, although I'm considering waving that. For now, lets assume we'll process it after FA.

Deal.
I absolutely hate dealing Blade... he's an absolute beast. But it seemed that trading Ortiz would be harder than I originally thought, and I get some great bats and solid pitcher in Miller.

I give up a lot of pieces, but I think it is a deal I had to make. With all of my FA money, I think I can put together a team that is at least somewhat competitive, which is a necessity because it will keep me interested. Blade is pretty outstanding, and I love that we were able to expand it to get him in there. Howard wasn't progressing the way I wanted him to, so it's nice to start over. Thanks for the deal.

Nice deal for NY. Sometimes signing guys to big FA deals can come back to haunt you. I really hope FA doesnt get out of control.

Yeah I learned my mistake. I thought we would generate more revenue but we didn't.
