I said nothing about biting. Brodie Dynamite's Mariners shambles is the trade that will haunt the Mets until Jarred Kelenic is enshrined in the Hall of Fame and beyond. That is easily the worst trade of the decade. (And Sandy drafted Kelenic to begin with)
No, go through the transaction logs on baseball-reference for 2017 and 2018. There is an endless line of these transactions:
Quote:

August 12, 2017

That's but ONE month and SEVEN terrible relievers. Not saying that I expect a future regular All Star or top 50 prospect for six weeks of *Curtis Granderson* or that I missed any of the guys purged. I complain about the returns. The returns were pathetic. It's also a stunning lack of imagination here.
