CWS send Blake Walston to STL
STL sends Jay Bruce to CWS and STL is covering 5M of salary cap for 2021
This deal for Bruce is to shore up our outfield to stay in the race. We love Walston and hated to give him up. We think he will be a stud long term but had to deal him to get Bruce. Thanks for the deal Cards

Cardinals accept.
We hate to see Jay Bruce go, especially since he has been mashing the ball this season. Walston was involved in the earlier Bohm-Schmidt trade, and his return to the Cardinals is welcomed.
We see him being a future starter in the middle of our rotation.
Best of luck White Sox.

You need to re-visit this. Cannot cover $5M in 2021 as you can only cover 25% in a future year.

Teams are allowed to send cap money without tying it to a specific contract which is what we did here. He sent 5M from his salary cap for 2021 and I wrote it up that way as well. So the 5M wasn’t part of Bruce’s contract but instead was 5M of general cap relief from STL. I was told these are two different situations and ok

this is being revisited due to the lack of clarity in the by-laws but I think the intent was to trade cap for current year only.

If you can trade player contract coverage for the next season I don’t see the issue of trading team cap for the following season because it’s essentially the same thing and wouldn’t go past the following season
