That was not an easy contract to move.
Getting a 1st, Cundari (looked good here), and Berra (impressed at the World Championships) was a decent return.

Not only that, but what was given up to acquire Bouwmeester? Leopold 2.0 and a 3rd round pick...
So essentially it works out to turning Leo and a 3rd into a 1st, Cundari and Berra. Oh and the millions in salary paid, but those guys can afford it :P
