[QUOTE="ChiefIllini, post: 1544553, member: 588522"] Most MLB starter rentals for prospects are one sided in the long run, that's kinda the point. Yeah the Cubs probably gave up too much for a backend starter, but he also had like 2.5 years of team control on a friendly contract left. I'm sure the Orioles dont look fondly back at giving us Arrieta and Strop for a half season of a decent starter. Not an apples to apples there, but you get the point. Those trades almost always seem lopsided when looking back. Q was needed. Eloy was not (at the time). There's more than just a 1 to 1 trade here. [/QUOTE]
