Winter trades - thoughts on April 13th

For those of you who thought we got screwed taking two sub-.200 hitters in return for Erik Gonzalez and two legitimate prospects, Tahnaj Thomas and Dante Mendoza....

You are correct.

For those of you who thought we got fleeced in trading Yandy Diaz for Jake Bauers…

You are correct.

These trades were stupid at the time and they are stupid now.   Whoever did the analytics to say these sub-Mendoza line career minor leaguers were worth trading for AT ALL, let alone giving up reasonable talent for them, was an idiot.

I mean, everyone knew that we were losing hitting this winter but yet we traded for not one, not two but 3 sub-.200 hitters and expected it to turn out well.   That is JUST...….FREAKIN...…..STUPID.

Now this team that was going to be challenged offensively is beyond challenged.  

They are screwed.
