Basically. Weren't we told that DeRosa and his $5 million dollar contract were traded to make room for Bradley? So, we trade DeRosa and his $5M. We sign Miles for $5M (over two years) -- so we've saved $2.5 million by trading DeRosa. Now we drop Gaudin and basically light $2M on fire. So we saved $500,000 by trading DeRosa.
I know that isn't a linear calculation, but it still pisses me off.
