I know how I'd feel about it. Eaton is much younger, much cheaper, and likely better than Trumbo. Not to mention Kevin Towers sold low on yet another asset of his as well. Skaggs had a bad year, but he's still a solid bet to rebound. Curveball is still there

I'm not that mad about Eaton, even though I know he is the better player because we desperately needed another HR bat. I understand that, but I do not like selling low on Skaggs. I was furious when he did the same with Bauer last year. He better not let go of Archie unless we get a proven Ace/CY-quality pitcher back.

Jarrod Parker and shite, even Max Scherzer, are the ones I wasn't happy about letting go. Bauer was being a douche and not making the adjustments the organization wanted him to make so I'm ok with that move.

Skaggs is tough to let go of for sure but if Archie is traded, I will be so pissed. I would think a guy like David Price would be the only pitcher they'd deal him for.

I get that, but how Trumbo will hold up over a season in left field remains to be seen, he can't hit breaking stuff for shite, and he doesn't get on base anywhere close to average for a left fielder.

Doubt Archie will go, he seems to be the "gritty" type KT loves since he's a former football player
