Santa Ana sends the historic, but often injured Mike Trout and Nolan Schanuel to Lakeview in exchange for Marcus Semien. Mike to confirm. Good luck down the stretch.
Thanks, Brian. Easy doing bizness with you. Wolves confirm.
Maybe I'm missing something guys but this seems to put the Santa Ana Sea Wolves about $1.55mn over budget. Can you confirm?
I sent Brian $7,025,000 in salary and got back $7,000,000 in salary. Or at least that's what I thought. I can't find the rules about contract percentages in the rulebook.
Trout has an injury settlement so his contract was only worth $3,262,500. With Schanuel, that's $3,762,500 in exchange for Semien's $7mn. Maybe Brian can send back some salary to get you to $7,250,000?
I gotcha. Can you reverse the trade for now, then? I couldn't find the section that deals with in-season trades and the percentages and effective dates. Did we eliminate them?
We eliminated pro-rating and just allow teams to trade cash straight up. You could address the difference in salary simply by having the Rougarou send you cash to address the salary offset this year.
Rougarou include 1.55M in this deal to balance the books.
CO confirms.
