I think the decline has more to do with how outrageously good he was in 18 and the fact that that just likely wouldn't continue than actual physical decline.
If the Sox hold on and win the division in 2016 the Shields trade was actually good!
Eaton was like a C-, D+ trade that they're not going to have to regret is all.
Though, FWIW, no way Giolito survives 2018 on the Nats
The nationals winning a World Series does not mean they ‘won’ the trade. It also doesn’t matter who ‘won’ the trade. The Sox are in a better position now than they were before they traded him.
Theyve also already got twice as much value from Lopez and Gio than the Nationals have Eaton and there’s still 8 years left for them to do more.
That's a White Sox ass move if I've ever seen one.
Imagine hiring a guy who is like close personal friends with like 30% of your team to be their boss.
Ozuna was at 2 DRS this year in 130 games. JDM was -7 in 300 innings. Ozuna isn't good in the outfield, but I don't think he's nearly as bad as some people make out. JD should be unplayable
