(Rangers pay $4 Million of Ortiz contract in 2011)

I accept this trade because I love the idea Carlos Santana and Pablo Sandoval as building blocks. i give up Scheppers who is my best pitching prospect left and Robbir Ross but I get back 2 good offensive prospects. I think my current MLB pitchers are young enough and under contract long enough for me to work on my offense now.

I accept this deal. Since im taking over a crappy team i need to make moves. Now that i have some big time pieces i can look for the stud pitcher that i need

[cmill78]

I like this deal a little better for the Rangers especially with Butler who is the best piece (and young pure hitter) in the deal. Rangers gets some good veterans and young talent.

Approve

[Dodgers GM]

Both sides get some good prospects and some good veterans. I think the Rangers come out on top by getting Santana and Chisenhall, but the Indians get A-Rod, who's still a top 30 player, and a few other solid players and prospects.
