And let's not forget we saved a lot of money getting rid of Najera and Carroll, AND grabbed a trade exception.
Lots of things going on in this deal, and I think it might just pan out. This is dependent on someone being acquired at the trade deadline, but I still have my hopes up real high.

Agree 100% with this post.
We lived to fight another day with this deal, whereas someone like Jefferson would have been an all-in move that would either make or break the team (and does anyone REALLY think he would have put us over the top? Cuban doesn't and neither do I...)
