The Chris Herrmann Situation (Plus, This Week in History)

Trading a prospect who had just hit 29 home runs for a career backup with an OPS+ of 46 just after the World Series ended seems like a very Diamondbacks move. After all, they spent pretty much the entire winter giving up prospects left and right for what might be construed as lottery tickets (and in many cases are.) Isan Diaz may never amount to much on the major league level, but do we really expect Jean Segura to return to his 2013 form? Surely the Diamondbacks could have gotten a better pitcher if they were willing to give up two top prospects, as well as a very good center fielder!
