Wow, there are some real brain surgeons in this thread. $190M allows you to spend $190M. $185M allows you to spend $185M. $190M is more than $185M. $190M has an advantage over $185M. It's really not that difficult a concept.
And 5m less in salary buys you as much as 5m more in cash.
Wow ... No it doesn't. If you walk into a store with $2, you have more purchasing power than if you had $1. How much things cost do not change the fact that $190M is more than $185M.

After reading some posts I'll clarify my last post. You don't have to worry about shedding $5M in salary because a $5M gift was given to you. Why anybody would want another team to have $5M than everyone else is beyond me.

Funniest. Post. Ever.

The players involved are a variable. It is quite possible for a team receiving the $5M in a trade to also "win" the player side of the deal. We call that a trade rape around here.

It's the way you get the cash, not the cash itself. Somewhere in order to get that 5m budget boost, you had to give up something. That is what determines whether the 5m is better or not.

True. But on its own, the idea of giving another owner $5M more than everybody else while bringing my total budget down to $180M is pretty unappealing. I'd have to be getting a screaming deal to agree to that.

Irrelevant.

$190M > $185M

And then you get into philosophy on "oh, I'd allow that" or "no, I don't think I would allow that".

There's been more than one person that's wandered in here thinking you are a complete noob because you don't even grasp that simple concept.

I wonder how many people arguing on the " cash is ok " side have actually handed out $5M in trades. My guess is those people are arguing cash is ok because they've had deals vetoed where they were receiving $5M.

Season one in Hardball Central, I acquired $15.9M in trades. I won 111,102,111 games. That was fun.

I recall you transferring all your excess payroll in Happy Jack to prospect before ST and then having people pay the salaries of the players you acquired.

You are correct. You just dont give 5m away, you get something for it,and that something in return is the determining  factor,not just the cash surrendured. If cash avail was supreme, anyone can raise that on the wire. Many do. You can't block someone from selling a player for cash.

Sure you can.  It's called a "veto".   Maybe you've heard of it.
