$14 Million for a 3+ win pitcher is not "way too much money." In fact, it's below market value. We're not going to find a better SP for cheaper than Duffy. I'll almost guarantee you that. My point is we trade our asset for a contracted 15 mil per pitcher when we can sign the pitcher for that much or a bit more AND trade Santana (+ maybe) for another pitcher like a Salazar or an Archer type. It's counterproductive in my eyes. Lynn / Cobb / Arrieta aren't enough different than Duffy is to me to warrant the trade. In a vaccum, no it's not a horrible deal. No, I get that. There's always ways to go about trying to get surplus value but, in the grand scheme of things, let's say Salazar and Archer AREN'T available. We're not going to sit on Domingo with the opportunity to land Duffy. Not at his cost per production.
