I accepted another trade to get Shtickless talking... Got a former first overall selection, but I gave up Perdomo to get it.
You didn't get raped but in my opinion you gave up more than you got back. But it depends on what stage of the process you were in.
IÂ honestly don't really put the same emphasis on short relievers in trade negotiations. I obviously care about them because I draft them and tend to bump them appropriately up my draft board, but I tend to stockpile them so I have some expendable to top off an offer.
And I guess I just like Swindell more than Taylor.
