We've so far had a spotty track record closing out trades for players, most found our comp for Ford and peters (and inability to trade Houston) to be underwhelming, and we've largely overpaid by a lot for second tier free agents while not landing many blue chippers. If we have to overpay because we aren't great negotiators, fine. But lets call a spade a spade.

Blue chippers hit the market, you pay a ****load for them. It's the way it is.
