Some of these trades you're basically taking fliers on guys. Especially when you consider the overall market for Moose was terrible for about 2 years and nobody wanted to sign him for anything. Look around that time... the Tigers traded JD Martinez who was one of the best power hitters in baseball, 40 homer guy, and haven't gotten anything major out of that trade. The rental market is just terrible anymore.

I hear ya, the Padres and White Sox are the last teams to really get true young players with real potential in trades.
