The second Leather Pants cracked on the trade it was a guarantee that it was not only a win but an epic win for the Reds.
There's a reason Jimbo is a FORMER General Manager...

I was trying to be objective and look at Grandal and Alonso in some light that would make this a win for the Padres or even a break even for them. It's a giant leap but if Yonder and Yasmani turn out to be Mark Grace and Mike Piazza, Then ya 15 years from now we might have 'lost' this trade in totality. But for immediate needs and how it works out with PEDs etc. i would be shocked if anyone considers this anything but a huge Jocketty/Reds win over Josh Brynes/Pads.

I think Volquez was the least important part of tne deal, so his release and poor performance doesn't have much impact on who "won" the trade. Personally I think the Reds "won" the trade the day Grandal was suspended for PED use. He was the key to the deal, and now it looks like getting rid of him was one of the smartest moves Jocketty made.

I'd like to win the trade for keeps and get Latos signed long term. The price keeps going, up, up and away...

So if Cingrani has to miss more starts, who wants to see this?
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”

And that was our ace going into the 2010 playoffs. Well he must have been since he started game 1 of the NLDS.
I'd rather see this:
