Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 3124396, member: 289"] I hate trades. I'm a "bird in the hand" guy. Keep a young, good nucleus together and see what you can get from the farm system or go out an get a free agent if he fills a gap. With a trade, you are gambling that they guys you get will be better than the guys you lost but the trade wouldn't have been made if the other team didn't think they'd win that. Would we have bene in the playoffs if Brody hadn't made the deal for Cano and Diaz? Betts is a superstar but baseball is more a test of your overall roster and if you'd have to give up several key players to get him, can he make up for their absence? Who won the Bryce Harper trade, the Phillies or the Nationals? [/QUOTE]
