I agree the trade seemed like a good gamble on paper, but the results are all that matter.

The trade is what it was, a good gamble. Gambles don't usually work out, it wasn't a good trade for a good player. Our other option was most likely trading Melky for a low A guy with some upside. In that case no one would be upset because we got something out of a guy who was leaving anyways. DM took a high risk/high reward chance on Sanchez. People forget that the market for Cabrera wasn't very large, we couldn't move him at the deadline.
Basically it was ML guy who most likely is done, but has shown flashes and there is a small chance he will get it back. Or, somebody who we might see in 4-5 years but most likely will never get to the bigs.
