No. The Vargus trade is a real head scratcher. He was a DFA candidate with all the injured Dodgers coming back. So, we give up Fedde, Pham and Kopech for him and 2 A-Ballers.
Back to Vargus. Getz obviously played right into Dodgers' plans. No way were they going to keep Vargus on the roster once their injured guys came back. He had DFA written all over him. Getz could have waited 2 weeks and he would get Vargus for a token.
Horrible trade. Shields was bad enough, since he couldn't get anyone out in San Diego. So why throw in Tatis, who we had just given a $750k signing bonus. I'm still shaking my head over that one. And I said so a day after the trade. Welcome back.
