Kimbrel move wasn't awful, dealt from a position of strength as Guerra and Margot are blocked by Betts and Bogaerts. Just could have got more value wise.
I love this signing. Price has proven he can pitch in the AL east, so definitely beats spending big bucks on him than Cueto or Greinke.
I don't even see how Trout's numbers were better. Trout marginally had a better average by 0.02 and was worth .3 more wins.
Homeruns, rbi's and all that fun stuff, Donaldson was equal or better than Trout.

I have no problem selling high on Guerra or even moving Margot since the outfield is a logjam with JBJ, Castillo, Betts, and Benintendi. It's just I would have rather moved them for a starter. Also hope we sell high on JBJ this offseason.
We could have gotten O'Day or Clippard in free...
Makes sense for Columbus. They had to pay Horton either way, so as a low budget team they may as well pay a player to pay. MLSE will just eat up Horton's contract.
This is something that should have happened eight years ago. Hopefully we are decent by our centennial year.
I'm excited to see this team get blown up. Only key pieces should be Rielly and Nylander.
