Salary Caps

This is one of the more overlooked factors in a bail trade.

When you receive a $35 Richie Sexson for a $3 Emil Brown, you should consider the fact you will be stopped from adding any other big pieces. Is Sexson enough of an upgrade over Brown to preclude you from going after any of the other highest-priced players in your league?

Will Brown continue to out-AVG Sexson? If he does, is the $32 additional cap lost opportunity worth it for the 5-10 HR difference?

Will the extra 5-10 HR Sexson will yield worth the easy $3 keeper that Brown will be next draft?
