Phillies agree to trade. Now if I can find room for all these guys, but I guess you really wanted Morneau, so thanks!!

Wow that's alot of players!

LOL, that might have broken a Heath record for most players traded by one team in one trade. Gotta be close.

It is a lot of players but the Morneau salary is $11.8 million and all together these players still come up short. I would be cutting most of them after the spring games before the season started anyway. I am sure Gene is going to have to play that game with his rosters as well. This does help him solidify his starting rotation and give him some pitching depth throughout his organization if he can find room for them all. Morneau will be my future DH, gives me a left-handed power hitter which I desperately need in my lineup. Now, I have to find a way to cut more salary and make money this upcoming season! We shall see!

Heath, I was not trying to break a record or anything. I just had around 16 cuts to make to get all my teams under the roster limits and this was the easiest, smartest, best way to get that done and get a hitter/1B i really need!

thanks all!

Yeah, and now I have to figure out what to do with some of these guys. Going to take awhile to figure everything out!! Plus, being a NL team I really didn't have a use for a DH. I've already got a couple of decent 1B in my organization. Anyone that could use any of the guys I'm getting from the Twins -- feel free to PM me with offers.
