There's one I got close on in lumping us in with the Mia/Por trade. Have yet to explore the LAC/Phi deal, but with the Mia deal it was a 4 for 3 deal that was only really adding the extra $1.7M salary to make the numbers match almost exactly. Take out that guy and the trade still works and we're like $1.8M under the 1st apron which means we still had to waive McGee to make it happen.
Where it wouldn’t work is if you are doing a 3 for 1 for one returning player. At 15 players (so with Morris), you have to add a $2mm minimum slot. If you do a 3 for 1 at 14 players, you have to add two minimum slots. You have to stay at 14 players after the trade. It doesn’t mean there isn’t a deal out there, but the entire $10mm spread can’t go to one player if you are sending out three guys.
