a couple of dump trades in my 10-team AL-only 5x5, deep rosters. The guy who made these trades is a professional fantasy writer so I'm not debating whether they're good, I just want the RJ opinion on whether they're all approximately equally good; I made one of the trades and he did a good job of hitting accept on all of them at the same time so I didn't really see how the market was panning out until it happened, and I keep waffling on whether I did good.
Salary cap is $500 and most teams have about $140 in cap space after the auction, so it's not usually a hindrance until you make your second or third dump deal. Minor leaguers count against your in-season cap but their contracts don't start until they get activated by their owner or until they lose rookie status and they don't count against the $260 auction budget.
Nelson Cruz $28A, Garrett Richards $7X, Avisail Garcia $4B, Cole Hamels $10A
for Mike Clevinger $5B, Derek Fisher $5A, Ronald Guzman $5/minors, Mychal Givens $10A
Dylan Bundy $12X, Adrian Beltre $24A, Zach Britton $8A
for Michael Pineda $10A, Jason Groome $6/minors, AJ Puk $11/minors, Brent Honeywell $5/minors, Sam Gaviglio $10A (that's a lot of TJ surgeries)
JD Martinez $46A, Jed Lowrie $10A
for Jesus Sanchez $5/minors, Forrest Whitley $5/minors, Brock Holt $10A
