I wanted Reynolds, but the fact that he wasn't traded to the Crew, OR a team with significantly more money and/or prospects, suggests to me that the VALUE wasn't there. Once Bell went in the megadeal, the thought of trading for trading's sake is one I'm glad Stearns avoided.
How many megadeals have the Padres been involved in now? Machado, Soto, Darvish, etc. How many WS wins are they rocking? Let's see how this plays out, shall we?
