Yeah, no idea. It is (a no-no) such a freak outlier event that I don't think it would have too much weight in a decision against doing so.
I remember seeing it happen a few times in this timeline although the specifics now escape me. We have been trying unsuccessfully to acquire Neagle since he's been trade eligible and could have had him before he threw the no-no but the Giants wanted Burkett and I felt that left our already vulnerable pitching even more so. Then they moved him to the Rangers and the rest is simulated history.
