I have to agree with you, I knew his trade was coming and I can’t say I’m nuts about him going to NY. The other thing is, I don’t recognize any of the names we traded him for, I was hoping if we dealt him out we’d get some recognizable talent in return.
Yeah that would've been nice. Although I don't blame Breslow for going for pitching depth, there's a real lack of pitching in the minors. Let's hope they pan out
Yeah and it does seem like at least one has major league experience so there’s a possibility he adds to the bullpen and I saw another was minor league pitcher of the year this year so that’s fairly promising too.
I'm actually pretty happy with this trade. Three pitching prospects isn't the flashy-splashy sort of headline we're thirsty for, but it suggests that Breslow is looking to build long-term pitching depth rather than spend together a fleeting juggernaut. Plus, not signing a big name in return for Dugie frees up $9mil that can theoretically be put towards the pipe dream player of your choice.
