I have been after a #1 SP for awhile. Although I wasnt looking for one with this high of a contract but had to pull the trigger as there wasnt much out there. I hate giving up Morrison as Sale as main pieces but gotta give to get. Also gave up two high upside SP prospects in Lindblom and Deck. Glaus/Molina were in to offset 2011 salary. Nice dealing with Reds as always.

Victor to confirm.

[Reds GM (Victor)]

Reds confirm. With me tagging a Younger and equally as good Hamels, I felt I needed to cut a high cost player. Also after I move Gordon in my last trade, I felt I need to acquire another promising OF. I think very highly of Morrison and Sale and were the keys to this trade. I also was asking for some specs and Lindblom getting called up recently and McGuire doing well in minors i think he call up will be sometime next year hopefully. Molina and Glaus were contracts to make the money in deal functional. My offense needed a kick and hopefully LoMo keeps driving in some runs.

Really good negotiations with the Dodgers. Thanks again.
