    The Muts trade for the Pirates Neil Walker, and sign Asdrubal Cabrera.

    Walker, Pittsburgh born and raised, Pirates Fan as a kid, played well for them, seems like a bad gig for him to be traded.

    …and the Yanks get blasted? That Mets team was saved by two hot bat streaks (Cespedes then Murphy). They haven't even come close to replacing them. Going to be a lot of low scoring one-run losses next season.

    Yep - and lets not forget the Yanks and of course Cashman would've been blasted from the get-go at the time of the Cespedes trade..har har...but no doubt those two were BIG bats for the Muts, Cespedes during the 2nd half and Murphy in the playoffs. Also noteworthy, everyone's darling team the Royals finally broke through and won their first WS in 30 years - the 2015 team mainly a result of having sh!tass teams for many years resulting in numerous first round draft picks such as Hosmer, Moustakas, Gordon,Greinke and Hochevar....all 1st rounders ranging from the 1st overall pick to the 6th of the first round.
    Greinke eventually turning into Lorenzo Cain, Alcides Escobar and Jake Odorizzi who then was traded for Wade Davis...and it wouldn't have been possible without the Royals AND THEIR FRONT OFFICE having dreg teams for many a year---- yep, that's the ticket!
