I'm disgusted with this trade. Where is my pitch fork
Espinoza is a big overpay for a guy with just a half season of proven quality pitching.
The Padres traded for this guy last winter for peanuts. Apparently, we didn't like him that much just 4-5 months ago.
Espinoza loss really hurts, but hopefully it will work out. Michael Kopech is really opening some eyes. Maybe not Epinoza, but I have a good feeling about him...We needed a good pitcher and knew it would hurt. Let's see the whole deal, maybe more players involved...
Pomeranz has pitched 102 innings this year......thats a career high for him at 27. We just traded arguably the best pitching prospect in the minors for him.
Brock Holt was an all star.
I hate the theory that Espinoza is so far away from the bigs, we can afford to trade him. This kid was the best pitching prospect we've had since maybe Clemens.
This is a win now trade, this is a classic give up way more future potential for the chance to win now. I hate it, I don't care if it give us a better chance to win this year.
