I'm not ready to say "KC got the better end of that by a longshot" like is championed around here. I think people are just excited because its a trade that wasn't completely one-sided against us for a change.

It was and is a complete win. I don't think this point can be argued, at all. Every day shortstop hitting over .300 with excellent defense. How many shortstops are playing better than Escobar right now? Yet alone in a few years time. That alone makes the trade a win for us. Odo and Cain are just the icing on the cake. It isn't like you can expect to get that without giving up nothing. Milwaukee gave up three of their best prospects for Greinke on a 1.5 year rental.
Go back a few pages and see what Duncan posted about what other teams got for Ace pitchers they traded. There is nothing worth even taking a second look at.
