Teams trade based on future potential, not what happened in the past. They don't just blindly look at a stat sheet and see a 4.00 era. I'm far from the only person to suggest Duffy will possibly get traded at some point.

You only get a big return when you sell a big, valuable piece. Those are literally the only two major pieces Moore has sold during his time as GM. |

That's kind of a further indictment of Moore, is it not? Other franchises have at least drafted or signed in IFA well enough to have valuable pieces to trade. We're left with a rental player that will get a minimal return (Moustakas) and two decent players that we hope might get a decent return (Duffy and Merrifield).

Bryce Harper. 1.4fWAR and we are 2/3 done. I once claimed he's the most overrated player in MLB....has had only 1 great year. DeezNuts went nuts and screamed how dumb it was.
Was it tho? |

Only if you’re trying to be negative about Moore. They’ve had plenty of pieces that would have commanded huge returns had they moved them, but they didn’t because they were in a contention cycle for the past 7 years. They could have gotten a ton for Alex Gordon after 2012. Or Hosmer, Moustakas, Cain, Perez, Ventura after 2015. Or Duffy after 2016. etc. They haven’t sold big because the team hasn’t been a seller of major pieces since 2010/2011. The closest they came was midseason 2016, when they had a deal lined up with the Nats for Trea Turner or some young OF named Victor Robles and Felipe Rivero and some other pieces (for Cain and Davis). That deal fell apart because Davis’s elbow sent him to the DL for the second time. |

Moore should have known Wade's elbow was about to be a problem and traded him earlier. |
