The Cruz Jr for Timlin/Splojaric deal made sense to me; the '97 team was a HOF-laced squad that was doomed by its bullpen.  And neither I nor the Mariners ever saw Cruz Jr as a future MVP candidate.

The Slocumb trade was way over the top in any case, as you note, and the Ortiz trade an alltimer.

Excellent flavor text also :- )
