A great trade for both teams

 

It would have been nice to see Danks traded for Alonso..

Crap.

 

 

Volquez is in the deal as well.

 

EDIT: Holy s***, they got Grandal too.

 

Reds acquire SD’s Mat Latos for Yonder Alonso, Brad Boxberger, Yasmani Grandal and Edinson Volquez.

Woah. Alonso, Grandal, Volquez and Boxberger.

Wow. What a pickup for San Diego.

The Padres want Quentin as well.

Amazing trade for the Padres..

Seriously that's a haul for the Padres. They have a glut of 1B corner OF types now though.

WTF were they thinking?

For Yonder? They already have Rizzo who was the main piece in the AGon trade for 1B and Yonder playing LF at Petco sounds like a f***ing disaster.

Balls. I'm starting to worry that we're going to get nothing for our pitchers.

I hadn't considered that. Yonder in the Petco OF would be hilariously awful.

Damnit.

 

I would have taken Alonso and Grandal alone for Danks..

I think many people would have taken one of them for Danks.

Great trade for Padres. Not bad after losing that GREAT GM to the Cubs.

Yep. Two would be a stretch for one year of Danks.

Latos doesn't come a free agent until 2016.

Damnit.

I'd take Grandal alone for Danks, Latos is 24, under team control for 4 more seasons and has awesome upside; I'd say he's already considered a #2 by a lot of people, Jocketty included. His trade value was exponentially higher than that of Danks.

I know, but that was my "shoot for the moon" package.

 

I would have been cool with either.

I wonder why the Padres would want Q, since Byrnes traded him to the Sox

I'm just wondering why the hell the Reds kept listening after there were more names following Alonso and Grandal...

Sweet cheeks of Buddha that's a motherf***in' haul. But I like this more for the Reds. Votto and Mesoraco made Yonder Alonso irrelevant and Grandal expendable. Latos is the real deal. They needed an ace or close to an ace and they got one.
