Ok. Since when are you citing to HR and ignoring wRC or OPS+ when evaluating a player?

This seriously can't be how we are evaluating trades now.Better than nothing.
He's Olivares v2.0. I'm not complaining about him per se, but watching the teams we are competing for playoff spots add better players while we talk ourselves into "well he's better than Palacios" and being happy isn't my thing.He's a roughly league average bat that can give them 20-25 HRs over a full year, and they gave up basically nothing for him. What is there to complain about here?
Needed an outfielder that can hit and got one that has some pop. Had pretty much no other OF outside of Reynolds that produced. He’s got warts, sure. But it cost nothing prospects.This seriously can't be how we are evaluating trades now.
No, it's a good trade. I was merely giving a generic response.This seriously can't be how we are evaluating trades now.

Now that would be interesting.
Give me the nihilistic chaos of adding an absolutely middling bat and then trading Chapman to the team we are literally playing that night.
BDLC is a sneaky-good pickup IMO. Yeah his defense is mediocre at best but his bat is a massive upgrade on anything we've been rolling in the outfield lately not named Reynolds.IKF is a good pick up. Swinging a good bat this year and gives you some flexibility in the infield. This is kind of the bar I had in mind with getting BDLC... it's not the impact upgrade we needed, but getting two supplementary players is at least something.
Oh man, I do not like parting with Charles McAdoo. Maybe he will go the way of Matt Frazier, but that dude has been raking.
