How do you trade someone for nothing? What am I missing?

I do like the roster.

Okay- we get a dollar back or some DSL scrub.

That’s a ridiculous price to pay for CJ Abram’s. 
don’t need him if it costs us that. Delzine and Valera? I’d rather trade them for a RH starter or a different bat. Abram’s bat will be ok in Fenway if his breakout year was for real, but not for that price. Two RH pitching names I’d be interested in are David Bednar for the back of the pen and Casey Mize for the 5th spot. 

personally, I keep both young RHP prospects. We don’t have any of them with as much promise. I’d let them develop for another year and if you trade them they’ll be worth more. Valera is returning from TJS and Delzine looks like he could be a special pitcher. 
I agree to trade story and Yoshida but I’d add a prospect so I don’t have to send that much cash, but the idea is right on. Eat cash, add prospects to get them off this roster. we have redundant positions in the minors. We should look to add them to any deal involving those two.
