the James Shields/Wil Myers one. KC was raked over the coals and ridiculed the entire winter. All the players involved on both sides in our deal are a step or two down in value. I can understand people being upset about losing Kuma for Miley if Kuma was one of their personal favorites (he was not for me), but Carson Smith pitched a good deal better for the M's than he did for Tacoma. Who knows if he can keep that up or if he's due to regress, like Farquhar did this season. The reaction around baseball/the internet seems a bit over the top when this trade could easily be a win for either side.
