I have identified 2.6 billion problems with this trade. Here are two:
1. Carlos Silva is a free agent.
2. It's fucking insane.
He concludes the article by writing this:
What's Twins general manager Bill Smith waiting for? He should have this deal done by now.
Does Theo Epstein have anything to say about it? Because trading something like 23 cost-controlled years of five excellent young players for one year of Santana, one year of 33 year-old Joe Nathan, and no years of the impossible-to-obtain-through-trade Carlos Silva -- who, again, is a free agent -- might be the worst deal of all-time, in any sport, including Larry Andersen for Jeff Bagwell.
