My thoughts exactly. We could have waited for a better package, either in the off-season or early next year. We could have still made the other trades and hoped Irving and Sanchez could carry the team. It seems like they're concerned about re-signing Burnes and the recovery of other starting pitchers, so they made the best deal they could to try to win it all this year.
I would agree. I really don't understand trading both of them for such an average pitcher. Better off keeping them both and packaging them with another top prospect to get an elite pitcher. Instead this just feels like giveaways of 2 talented guys.
The writers at Camden Chat hated the Rogers and other trades made today. Basically saying what I have. It seemed like a lot of moves that amounted to nothing, and may hurt the team in the mid to long term.

Cowser is going to have to keep it up, that Butler and Colt Keith are surging, Langford could get hot, Wells is playing middle of the order for the Yanks.
