I think the Diamondback's did as much as they could with this one...
Trading Justin Upton for Randall Delgado, some garbage prospects and a one-year experiment of Martin Prado at third isn't any sort of a positive for the Diamondbacks. Towers is pretty clearly selling out to win now, otherwise he'd have spun Upton and Bauer off for better prospects, instead of immediate contributors. A competent GM probably would have drawn the line at Andrelton Simmons, or maybe Kris Medlen.
That is a messed-up organization right now.
Now I'm hearing A-Rod may be out for the whole season. Attempting to give a crap...![]()
That team is an old timer's day waiting to happen. Sure they'll mop up with the KC's and Minnesota's of the world, but I can't picture them finishing higher than 3rd in their own division.
^Yikes. The 2013 all feet-for-hands team.

That's ok, you still 4 more years after this one to watch him physically decline. .265 BA, 15 HR, 63 RBI - that contract is looking like more of a bargain by the day.

The Angels are going to pay for that Pujols deal in a few years similar to what the Yanks are going through with A-Rod. Ridiculously long contract for a guy already in his 30s who will be a $30M a year shell of his former self in the second half of it.
Big guys tend not to age as well either.
Apparently if a doctor declares A-Rod is unable to recover from his injury the Yankess can file a claim on their insurance for most of his contract. Wonder how hard they're rooting for that?
