LA Angels Trade --------------------------------- RP Sean Burnett
Miami Marlins Trade --------------------------------- OF Juan Pierre 3B Ed Lucas SP Brad Hand
This was both a cost cutting measure and a need to fill roster spots for this season. None of the players we received have contracts beyond this year, so they are effectively short term stop gaps. If they perform well, we may attempt to keep them. Otherwise, its more money we have to spend on FA market.
Marlins gain $900,000 in payroll
Both Pierre and Lucas will remain on active roster. While Hand will remain on inactive 40 man roster.

Marlins accept. We're now working on rounding out our rotation & bullpen. Burnett is a nice piece when healthy. Burnett's contract is 13: $3.5M, 14: $3.8M, 15: $4.5M ($0.5M b/o) so we add some long term money. Burnett can transfer to the DL.
