If it was indeed a sellers market as he claims, he could have gotten a haul if he traded one or more of those pieces. The roster as constructed has not been working. Sometimes you have to shake things up.
Bundle together Yoan, Eloy and Anderson. Surely every GM would be falling over themselves to acquire such a young championship core (NOT!). This franchise truly is in baseball hell right now. Thank you JR, Rick Hahn, and Tony LaRussa.
