You seem to be closed minded to the possibility that a trade can not go in our favor. As long as action is taken you would be pleased, even if said action could cripple the team.
I don't get it, pff, I really don't.
I mean, I'm sure the Rangers were trying to improve themselves when they traded for Eaton and Aki but that blew up in their faces. I doubt you'd be happy about that if you were a Rangers fan.
We were trying to improve the team when we traded for Giles (Brian), but in retrospect Jason Bay would've been a better fit for this team.
Your "what happened after the trade is irrelevant" arguments never cease to baffle me.
It's like you would've been happy had Towers traded Linebrink for Tampa Bay's back up left fielder because, hey, we needed somebody for that position.
