15 Million
The Nationals relased this statement shortly after the trade was complete, "Gustavo Cabrera although a star talent, had no place on my team due to the abundance of OF on the team and the recent excellent performance by Rasmus and Bruce.
Hammott, Meija, and Syndergaard are all tough to give up as I wanted to keep them as part of my core future, I think Syndergaard could use change of scenery where he can be a much better pitcher, Hammott and Meija are potential upside players that can contribute to another team and be a much better fit for the future, McCann is just a throw in and I am giving him compensation of 15 million in return for Royals taking McCann off my hands.
I am hoping Lee can contribute as a back-end starter and although many times I have said I don't want any picks in the draft I don't want any picks in the draft, there is ONE SPECIFIC player I am targeting and hoping he falls to the 40th pick so it is a risky move giving up players that can contribute now for a spec that may or may not be good at all."
