A's/Pirates

[Boston Pirates GM (Dave)]

Pirates receive:
Melky Cabrera, OF (TOR) 13: $8.0M 14: $8.0M
Erasmo Ramirez, SP (SEA) 13: $0.4M (PP-2016)

A's receive:
Martin Prado (ATL) 13: $7.0M 14: $11.0M 15: $11.0M 16: $11.0M
Kyle McPherson SP (spec)

I agree, I get a pretty even swap of prado and cabrera in my opinion and I get a guy in ramirez who I really like moving forward.

I accept. I'm was afraid I was going to see the pre-2011 Melky now that he's presumably off the juice, and I like Prado playing in AZ. Giving up Ramirez for McPherson is the price of doing business. Nice and easy negotiations.
