Yeah folks, this here trade is THE definition of blockbuster. After trying to decide on going for it or rebuild I have decided to rebuild but you also have to give something to get something. I am sending what I feel are enough top quality ML players that Scott should have a solid run at a banner. That being said he is returning to me what I hope will allow me to make a run for a banner in a couple of years. I approve.
I think Brandon Crawford still needs to be added per conversation.

Agreed. All or nothing for me here. Deciding after a junk 2015 and a slight improvement in 2016 I want to really go for it in 2017. I have brought in some great prospects talent in the last year and feel I'm in a good position to move all these top kids. They can all be superstars in the making but for the return I'm getting now it's worth the gamble. I plug Kinsler, Lindor, Blackmon and Carrasco right into my starting lineup.
Funny this deal began with discussions of Kinsler for Molina straight up and it blew up from there. Good luck to Jon with the prospects!
