Tons of credible rumors of us desperately shopping for trades at spring meetings.
Cmon, are you really going to say that all these deals paint a picture of shrewd negotiation? I know many will make excuses for each of these transactions individually. But how many individual excuses can you make without acknowledging a pattern?

Do you realize that you're putting for 'evidence' that contradicts itself and your point every time you post?
So we didn't overpay for Thomas, but we always overpay?
We should've gotten more for Peters, except nobody would pay it?
We should've gotten something for Houston! Except everyone knew we would release him, so they just waited for that. Because you know, you can just bluff people when they know what cards you're holding.
OMG we overpaid huge for Clark! Except, nah, not really. We're paying him a few million a year more than Ford. And he's twice the player.
YOU have decided, in your mind, on a narrative that you believe. You are now presenting any and all evidence as proof of that narrative, whether it fits or not.
You're not being logical at all. You're just reacting on an emotional level.
