It’s definitely an acceptable way to frame things. They made a move for Berrios, it wasn’t much of a plus move so far with just him but also the team reversed course. Obviously that’s not the deal’s fault but all sports are results based businesses. There’s no cupcakes for trying. And as mentioned, SP wasn’t even the glaring need that has continued to pop up.
Everyone is now completely s***ing on Martin due to the “gf break-up, or “got fired from job” factor, which is everyone hated it at first but then convinced themselves it was probably for the best. Yeah his swing is messed up this year but the tools are still there.
If you lose Ray and keep Berrios next year, you literally traded away very intriguing prospects for a bag in donuts
