As far as being an outstanding trade, maybe not. However, the Boys just secured more depth on their team: improved the SP staff, though Derek Gist will not be too happy being sent to Greentop Nursery; improved the bullpen with a four-man rotation, and they also have the young David Kidd to add even more bullpen depth; and they again have a fourth starting-quality outfielder in case one of their starters misses some time. With one of the rule changes coming, . . . they will benefit from the depth.
