This, unfortunately, became very obvious about the same time those "Pittsburgh called Toronto about Lind and Alex asked for Neil Walker - at which point Huntington fell over laughing, called AA a troll and hung up."
That's not say that AA shouldn't be trying to get the maximum back for any player, when you value your own platoon DH as worth something equal to a 2.5-3 WAR 2b, you're going to be stuck with your "in-house" options every time.
