Bad contract for bad contract trade - need a CF or SP, have a MR/CL...

#57 Francisco Rodriguez, Reliever, 33 yrs, Los Angeles (N) Dodgers - Out of the Park Baseball Report

Doesn't fit in with my squad this year. If you look at his stats, he was good last season and his ratings aren't awful this year or anything. His stuff is still good. He'll get his share of strikeouts. A change of scenery is really needed though.

He has 5.5 mil or something remaining for the rest of this year. I'll pay a bit of it even if neccesary.... I need a centerfielder and am looking to deal K-Rod for one with a similar salary. I would also be willing to consider swapping him for a SP with a similar contract.

Obviously, I'm not looking for all star talent, but something someone considers is worth giving up to take a shot on Rodriguez for. Hopefully someone who needs relievers will be willing to take a chance on my guy and lend me an extra piece they have...

too bad your payroll is maxed out...

I actually considered cutting K-Rod this prior sim because he'll be impossible to move and is borderline worthless, but he's bounced back ok. Still wasted 400k on Kevin Gregg (hey, he had a nice era last year in poorer pitching conditions, and 2 of my pen arms are already in my rotation....)
