Because apparently the mounds of evidence in this thread deriding this deal aren't enough explanation on why it's a bad trade, let me ask you this:
The Rays have proven to be a "winning team" the last few years, right? Why do you suppose they were then willing to make this deal?
Fans of this team were asking the team to spend money on Sanchez, not agree to terms with Hoch, not trade Myers and win with that group and have Myers under team control for 6+ years.
