[QUOTE="champaignchris, post: 1547074, member: 26283"] Hard to think of a recent trade that has worked out worse for a team than the Pirates acquiring Chris Archer for Austin Meadows, Tyler Glasnow and Shane Baz (21, currently a consensus top 100 prospect). Archer has been bad and hurt, is out for the year, with the good news being that he has a really cheap buy out for the last year of his contract. Glasnow and Meadows have been mostly very good and were key parts of their 96-win team last year. The Pirates were 56-52 (.519) and 3.5 games out of first when they made that trade. They've gone 99-137 (.419) since and are right now quite easily the worst team in baseball and have a middling farm system. [/QUOTE]
