What’s the end goal of this deal? Why is Russ dumping 2 decent prospects for a slight talent upgrade? Need more explanation to pass from me

 

[RussellMania]

I have Peralta in AAA who is ready to play ATM just sitting. Cantu slides to 2B, Peralta comes up at SS, and I get to stop having a RF with crazy negative ZR. In addition, if Hidalgo opts out, I free up considerable salary room to possibly re-sign Ibanez. If not, I have a top tier OF.

I see, sounds much more situational specific when you put it like that. I’ll give my approval.
