EZLN1........where do you keep getting this notion that trading Sanchez was a "salary dump?" Do you even know what a salary dump is? The Pirates tried to extend Sanchez' contract, he turned it down which essentially was his way of saying he was gone after the season. So the Pirates did what they should have done.....traded him and got something for him. That, is NOT a salary dump.
Sanchez offered the Pirates this contract: $6MM next year, $6.5MM in 2011 and $7.5MM in 2012 to keep him on the team.
The Pirates declined, and then proceeded to trade him. And we picked up this year's salary.
