January 21Jan 21 If we picked up cash for this return, burn the franchise down. If we didn't pay cash, and this is why we got a garbage return, burn the franchise down.
January 21Jan 21 Acuña is kind of a player. Don't think we needed another infielder necessarily. Know nothing about the pitcher. Would've rather just kept Robert tbh but the return is better at this point in time than I might have expected. Watch him go out and produce 5 WAR though. Beats declining his option at least. So who plays CF? Acuña might be able to tbh. Edited January 21Jan 21 by nrockway
January 21Jan 21 I can’t imagine sending much cash if that’s the return. And honestly, might as well have just dealt him in July.

January 21Jan 21 Yikes. A weak centerpiece and a worthless 2nd piece. i figured we could have done better. Whoa is me
January 21Jan 21 Horrific trade. Acuna is not really a starting caliber player and the other guy is a 12th rounder from last year. WHO the hell is gonna play center. Pure. Salary. Dump. Edited January 21Jan 21 by Timmy U

January 21Jan 21 Glad the people who wanted to make a trade for the sake of making a trade got their wish at least. Just horrible.
