Making cents of the Jamal Adams trade

I have an Accounting degree, an innate passion for contracts, an inquisitive mind, and a seriously warped view of the world.

So, while a lot of y’all have been debating about whether or not Jamal Adams is worth what Seattle gave up to get him, I’ve been wondering about something ENTIRELY DIFFERENT.

In two sentences or less, what I have been thinking about is this:

Cash. Flow.

Expanding on that a little bit:

  • How much more (or less) did Jamal Adams cost the team in 2020 than they would have spent had they not acquired him?
