I agree with you . The Durbin trade looks like a homerun so far. This trade doesn’t look good, but by no means am I bumping it to criticize the FO or say that Arnold isn’t doing a good job.
We often praise the ones that work out, so it’s only fair to note the ones that don’t. No one is batting 1.000, but Arnold is batting above league average.
They clearly loved something they saw in Zerpa and were willing to overpay for it thinking they could fix him. Hopefully, lesson learned.
