A player like Bay, they should have got blue chip prospects for. Instead they opted for a couple of guys that coupld play in the big leagues right away, but have low ceilings. When you trade a star player, you get blue chippers back, like Cleveland did with Sabathia. Now he is absolutely butchering the Ian Snell situation. I feel terrible for Pirates fans.

I feel terrible for Pirates fans.
