Kansas City deals: KCR Westbrook, Jake SP 23 82 93 $226,000 Arb '02 KCR Crede, Joe 3B 23 76 93 $17,800 Arb '03
In return for: PIT Penny, Brad SP 23 90 95 $226,000 Arb '02 PIT Belle, Albert RF 34 82 83 $3,550,000 3
Tough trade to make. The condition of this trade was that I eat Fat Albert Belle's contract in Pitt's continued progress toward fiscal responsibility. I really wanted Penny to go with Schmidt and Webb should I find myself in the fortunate situation of making the playoffs again in the future. Belle is a 7 million dollar slob that gets to pinch hit, I will have to get creative later to make the dollars work within my budget. Penny slides into Westbrooks slot in the rotation, so no worries, but Crede was very tough to give up. I feel like the Jays with this post.

I accept, my budget decreases even further and I get two potentially great players
