I totally get that point of view. Ragsdale could be another Brantley from the CC deal. But we considered that win, just by making the playoffs.
But the way I see it, May also has a mutual option for next year that’s a little bit less than Woodruff got for hi QO this spring. Which could be activated.
Five more years of Henderson, and 6 years of the two or three prospects they didn’t trade, and 8-10 more starts from May, seem to be a lot to give up for anybody. Even if Ragsdale and Frias become all stars, They were pretty much blocked here and may have not gotten the chance here anyway. I’m guessing that Chourio, Payne, and Lara will be the outfield in Milwaukee three years from now.
