I still can't get my head around this one.
I just can't fathom that baseball men, people that get paid vast sums of money to make their teams competitive, signed off on this deal.
This just makes no sense on any level. Even if Myers sucks, it's still a stupid trade because Myers could've been traded for far more than this in terms of long-term value. Shields was probably as good a 'win now' pitcher as you would get for Myers, but holy hell, how do you make this deal?
The Shelby Miller for Will Myers deal would've made far more sense.
This is the kind of trade you make if you're willing to commit to a top 10 payroll and at least played .500 ball the year before.
It's not a deal you make on a $75 million payroll with another 90 loss season under your belt.
I can't even bring myself to flip you guys any shit. This is just tragic.
