I think your rant is warranted. Gallo would have been a nice pick up. The Hand acquisition is nothing. He's not going to get us to the post-season. Unless they have other things planned, it seems like some sort of peace offering to the players/fans.
I hope I'm proved wrong, but we seem to be unable to close big trades and get beat out by others. Perhaps we ask for too much or value are own prospects too much. Dunno. But holy shit, what the f are they going to do for a playoff worthy starting rotation next year?
