This is not a HUGE trade this guy has been an all star ONCE he also has a 240 BA with the second lowest velo in baseball. Is he an upgrade at 3rd defensively over 5 yes but that’s because 3rd was his worst position out of the 5 he played. Only Hoyer could trade for a guy hitting 240 and claim he is the future of the team. We gave up on 5 way too early he and PCA were the emotional heart of the team. 5 has more power he has hit some HR that have yet to land. He has hit 2 more in the last 2 days. This was a HUGE trade for Tampa not to mention we gave up a guy that could top a 100 on his FB with a sick slider. Cubs bought him up ONCE he was un hittable and we sent him down. TB traded for him and put him in the bull pen immediately
