The deal makes sense to me. The guy is controlled through '30 and is on an absolute heater at the moment. Going to love that backend when Daniel returns!
I have a hard time believing any team is offering a better package than Rojas, Mo, and Alcantara. Feels like we can shed some ancillary pieces for something very good.
It horsefeathers sucks, I can't sugarcoat it. He will be way behind in learning and playing within the system and probably take a couple weeks to get the conditioning. Might get half of an effective season from him. What a bummer.
I would totally pitch Cabrera out of the pen. There's easily 4 better starters and you can argue Assad is on his level. His stuff out of the pen - just throwing sinkers, changes, and sliders- would be nasty.
