So, let’s see. Based on the poll results at this time, the vast majority of you either hate the trade that sent Yu Darvish to the Padres for Zach Davies and four prospects, or you’re “meh” on it.
Let’s step back for a moment and try to look at this trade with a bit less emotion, shall we? (Don’t look at Cubs Twitter, seriously, there’s nothing but overreaction and hyperventilation and some outright hatred there.)
I will grant this: This deal is mostly — and I say mostly for a reason, which will become obvious soon — a salary dump.
