i haven't been on since the trade was veto'd and cannot go through all of the responses, i will just say that those who are saying that the veto is a disaster needs to wait until atlas 3pm tomorrow and probably a full 365 days to fully evaluate. Nobody thinks Lucroy will be on the team a full year from now and its stupid for the brewers to do so. Only last year the brewers got a better return after the gomez mets trade fell through. Stearns is playing it off smart knowing that he doesn't have to move lucroy This will force teams like the mets to know that they cannot underbid and still get him. While myself and a lot on this board will be upset if there is no trade, only because from my own perspective it means that we do not yet know the return. Id rather have that then get a bad package in return. I think when you have a rookie GM you can expect some hiccups, makes me wonder how involved as a consultant DM is to let the events of the last 24 hours happen.
