I don't really think that's all time bad. I have no problem with a big league player being pissed that the few other decent big league players (and his teammates) are being shipped off for the sake of a future roster that he probably won't be on. He was pitching his ass off for a team that wasn't trying to win. I don't blame him one bit for saying that. In fact, I'm not sure I'd expect or want him to feel any other way. I think that's more justifiable for the trade that actually sent Shark away, since the MLB team didn't benefit from it right away. The Feldman trade netted them 2 players who immediately went on the MLB roster, and even as soon as that year made the team better. it was a really dumb thing to say. Dude, they traded for Jake when he was peak butt (as opposed to the Peak Butt from the body issue) with the O's. And hell, Strop was terrible for them that year to that point, too, so acting like he should have been happy that they went right onto the roster is pretty goofy since neither at that point would have dispelled the idea that the Cubs were just punting the season. And they both still looked pretty mediocre by the end of the season, too. Well, Jake definitely did.
