Call it what you will but Beane was offering a trade of firsts (moving from 9 to 20) and a 3rd. It's the dumbest trade in history and we got lucky AB didn't want to play for us.
This is so ridiculous. No one is trashing the Bills. The Bills are trash. Just because I'm a fan doesn't mean I can't see the charges against the Bills are legitimate. The team is trash and has been for 20yrs.
You can believe whatever you want but the Bills had to go into the deal at the start knowing AB wanted to get paid because he said so on national TV. It's more likely AB laughed at the idea of being on the Bills.
No. It make me more resolute in thinking he's not a real GM. He's a nepotism hire. He's in over his head. What a dumb trade. Give up 9 and a 3rd for 20 and a player who must be traded. They should give us a 3rd just to take him off their books.
So you believe everything about the potential trade is true except the compensation? Beane is a bad GM for even attempting to trade anything more than a 3rd for AB. This looks worse than Whaley trading for Watkins. Good for us AB doesn't want to play for the Bills.
I don't think you give that for a player they must trade. You shouldn't be offering more than a 3rd round pick. It just goes to show Beane is in over his head.
