Big trade for us. I send off P Adam Eaton to the New York Yankees in exchange for 2B Robinson Cano. Eaton's contract is about to expire and it's obvious he will not re-sign with us while our current 2B Alfonso Soriano will also be going into free agency. At the end of the day, we were scheduled to come out down, but snagging Cano mitigates a complete loss.

Cano is still in his pre-arbitration years, too, so I do free up some good salary money. The board gave me $22 million extra space for salary before the trade and losing Eaton and Soriano should really open me up to the free agent market or at least re-sign players I'd like to keep for the long term.
