Or, you can take an ace still in his prime years with a relatively cheap contract along with a younger starter who showed promise last year as a RP for an OF prospect who strikes out in 25% of his AB’s in the minors in a hitter friendly league, a pitching prospect who will be a #3 at best and most likely just a back end starter (not even good enough to start for Tampa), a complete bust starting pitcher who never even fully mastered A+ ball, and a R ball 3B. Yeah, you can flip this trade either way.

This wasn’t just force, this was rape. “you can have a 30 year old start who’s likely already had his career years (and you won’t keep him more than 2 years before losing him) and a solid starter who will end up your ace once Shields is gone due to your shittiness at building teams. In return, I’ll take your best hitting prospect, your best pitching prospect, and a former top prospect who we feel we can turn around”.

Rape.

I don’t understand why everyone is so upset with Dayton Moore when it is now clear that Andrew Friedman must have hit the “Force Trade” button

Agreed – and the funniest part is to think that anywhere from 1/4 to 1/3 of MLB GM’s could be replaced by the algorithims that run this game’s programming and make more informed decisions on trades and signings…
