Still not finalized but we will get money and more players may be involved potentially both ways

Let's all remember the Hamels trade has nothing to do with 2015. Getting things in place for '16-'18.

We better be making a lot more changes than adding Hamels or he won't make one bit of difference.

Yes, he of the 1.74 WHIP this season for Philly. Whoop dee doo!

He will fit right in.

Looking at his career numbers, this season seems to be the outlier, but yeah. Not exactly a windfall here.

Yes, and the guys we are giving up were all about 2016-2018 as well.

Looks like a solid lefty reliever. Still not happy.
I understand your hesitancy to part with some of those pieces because it is a lot. But I think JD deserves some credit for keeping Gallo, Mazara, Chi Chi, and Thompson all out of the deal.

The loss of Alfaro and Williams does sting though.

This deal may end up being huge with more players than any of us know being involved. It could be a career maker, or buster for JD.
