He absolutely just makes their bottom 6 heavy and extremely difficult to play against and their top 6 is already set.I'll say this in Pixie's defense: It's a lot to give up, but Tampa giving that up is different from say us giving that up. I'd be pissed if Hextall gave up that haul for Jeannot because we aren't one player away.
Tampa though? They might be one player away. They're still in the prime of their contending window. It'd be like if we made this trade in 2016 or something.
I get why they did it I just feel like they could have did a 1st and a 2nd or a 1st and a prospect at the most. (I know the later picks don't mean much) but they are assets to move contracts/fill injuries etc. They basically used everything.
I'm a sure they overpaid now to stay out of a bidding war b/c teams would have definitely went after him. They don't make many like the OX
