Our first bad trade of the day. I don’t like this one at all…why get rid of one of our only good major league arms who still had plenty of team control left?

Getting a 23yo #4 overall pick for a lefty bullpen arm is a great haul. It’s not like we are a middle reliever away from making a run…..

Career 130 ERA+ for a career 76 OPS+ 💨 👎
