LA Times Chime In

Colletti Finds Taker for Perez in Royals - Los Angeles Times: "General Manager Ned Colletti pulled off the front office equivalent of setting his chips on double zero at the roulette wheel and hitting it."

That is ridiculous. Nevermind it does not jibe with the remainder of Steve Henson's article.

"...will pay Perez a $4.5-million signing bonus due in November and give the Royals between $7.5 and $9 million, depending on whether Perez remains in Kansas City through next season."

Has Mr. Henson seen the KC rotation? Perez is its 2nd best starter right now! Oh, the Dodgers are paying that $7.5-$9 MM.


"General Manager Kim Ng said the Dodgers would end up paying all but about $3 million."

Meaning the Dodgers at $12+ MM or so and threw-in two prospects.

No wonder Steinbrenner hates revenue-sharing!

"Colletti tried to trade Perez earlier, but had no takers until packaging him..."
