If they were trying to dump salary, they would have just taken the best prospect package available. They didn't. Instead, they took a guy with less control and a higher cost - about to hit arbitration eligibility.
That's not a salary dump. It's a reshuffle of assets.

Hope you're correct but i doubt it. This reeks of one of Dayton's Halfway moves.
Partially dumps salary, pickups a JAG who can play right now.
ultimately nets us nothing:
Guy we pick up isn't good enough to make a difference
Don't dump enough salary to sign a guy who would make a difference
All it really does is keep us from
totally sucking while Dayton hopes our farm guys are developing. Standard Moore stall tactic.
Hopefully Soros is a stud though
I think this also leads to us trading another outfielder like Cain or Dyson.
Can't trade Gordon because that would be selling really,really low. Who would want him at his current salary?
I had hoped we would be selling high at least when trading Davis but we didn't.
