The Rays agree to trade... OF - Andre Ethier, LAD - $3.9M 2016-17 Paul Dejong OF STL to the Dodgers for... Edwin Drexler OF LAD Kyle Hooper RP LAD Another salary dump on my end (I really should have budgeted better) I had no intention of dealing Ethier as I see a two year contract at $3.9M well worth the numbers he would put up. The broken leg changed the equation. I like Dejong but that was the price I had to pay to clear cap space. The fun part of this deal is that Shaun still had two slots to claim organizational guys so he let me comb through the dregs of the Dodgers system to see what I could find. Hooper is interesting, great numbers through the lower minors. Not likely to keep it up but you never know. Drexler is really interesting. He was a 2015 draftee with some odd numbers last year (17 ABs, 6 singles, 8 Ks, 9 SBs) so I googled him. Came up with this. Maybe a late season SB boost? I was too intrigued to pass him up. And apparently he's Clyde the Glide's cousin or something. Score!

Agreed here.
Willing to take on salary to acquire prospects and Ethier helps fill out my weak lineup. May be able to trade him too

Processed. Please note where Ethier is going (25 or 40).
