ok on that website Shields has a 2.3 to 1.8 WAR compared to Odorizzi. Odorizzi is 24. Odorizzi makes 500K.
Shields and Wade make a combined...17M?
How much do Myers and Odorizzi make combined?
So we could have taken that 15M in savings and signed ... ?
It was an awful trade when it happened. I was willing to be ok with it if it meant the Royals made the playoffs and made some sort of run. Ok. Fine.
Now that Odorizzi has developed? Hahahaha.
This was a big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big rape.
When the Brewers traded for Greinke we got a nice package. Escobar, Cain, Odorizzi. Cool. The Brewers GOT TO THE PLAYOFFS in a large part because of Greinke.
What did we get? We rented two years of Shields to most likely not make the playoffs, give away a starter who is basically already giving his team Shields level production while also trading a top 5 MLB prospect who scouts rave about who had a tremendous rookie season who happens to play a position in where we start NORI AOKI.
hahaha
oh
but we got Wade Davis...who will be a $7M setup man next year unless we trade him, or trade the 2nd best closer in MLB.
You're right PB...what a trade for us!
