I mean it was just brilliant. They'd take the 10 shittiest guys on their team, throw in a kid that was 22ish ("Because the Cardinals want to get younger") and act like they were doing the Cards a favor by rebuilding their team around 10 players while taking a guy the Cardinals were clearly going to lose anyway. Oh inevitably somone would claim that including Bigby or Lopez in the deal would just be giving up way too much, but for the most part they were all too happy to give up every piece of spare roster trash they had.

This is the funniest post I've read on here in the month I've been on the board.
I looked at the Braves & Mets board. Reasonable deals everywhere. Medland + Tehran for Myers. Dickey for Cain + Ventura. Things like that. Lots of knowledge about our farm system, actually I was surprised reading how detailed the Mets fans were about our own players. Lots of interest in guys like Mondesi and Bonafacio.
O's fans? One actually wrote: "Bundy for Butler? More like Butler AND Gordon!"
