Hey! That's not Puig!
Late last night, the Tampa Bay Rays traded pitcher Nathan Karns to the Seattle Mariners, along with lefty reliever C.J. Riefenhauser and outfield prospect Boog Powell for shortstop Brad Miller, reliever Danny Farquhar, and first-baseman/DH Logan Morrison.
That's a large deal, with a lot of moving pieces, and it will take some time to digest and analyze all of them, but one thing is immediately clear: Yasiel Puig is in no way a part of the trade. And that's a shame.
This past season, as the trade deadline approached, I wrote an article claiming that Yasiel Puig was a reasonable return to expect from a Nathan Karns trade.
