Of course those ****ers gave up a handful of pocket lint for a top 5 starting pitcher.

They just showed Austin Jackson being removed from the game because he got traded. That was weird

Thats DM's fault, not Glass. Our GM has enough money to work with.

Move any permutation of those guys along with Shields and Holland and try to compete for pennants in 2016-2017.

If we had sold Shields, what do you think the return had been?

LOL Anibal Sanchez as merely your 4th starter in a playoff rotation. Must be nice.

edit: and no, we also can't give up this season. We're too close to wave the white flag, but not close enough to do anything stupid.

What in the ****ing ****? Jackson is a FA after next year and Smyly is a league average SP.

The starting pitcher consolidation into just a few teams (the mega-rotations of the Dodgers, Tigers, and A's) is reminding me of star player consolidation in the NBA.

The marginal value that we'd get above the value of a draft pick for trading Shields is not worth giving up our roughly 15% chance of making the playoffs.
