For a PTBNL.

 

A salary dump.

Wow, they really were giving him away.

Not so fast.....follow up reports say not quite done yet.

Hat tip to MLBTR (as usual); the Rockies have reported this trade as final.

The Rockies agreed to trade their former closer, Huston Street, to the Padres on Wednesday and are aggressively pursuing improvements that aren't limited to starting pitching, sources told MLB.com. The teams are completing negotiations, but San Diego is expected to pick up much of Street's $8 million guarantee for 2012.

 

According to multiple sources with knowledge of the deal, some cash will go the Padres' way, but there is enough salary relief for the Rockies that they can entertain other deals.

supposedly the Padres were actively seeking a multi-year deal with KRod until this materialized
