I can't think of anyone on here who wanted to keep him. Plus with the way the FA market crumbled because of the financial crisis, there was no one taking on salaries and giving back real prospects at that time. Anything else there is revisionist history.
Yet giving away Gio, Carter, and DLS for one year of Swisher and then getting no useful parts back doesn't make it a debacle of a trade? You look at the lack of depth in this organization, and that trade plays a pretty important part in it.
