Well, that was fun, wasn’t it? We knew the market was high for Miller, but this high? No one saw this coming.
As the news of the trade to Arizona was happening, I was with my family putting up my Christmas Tree. The notification on my phone only said that Braves trade Shelby Miller to the Diamondbacks for Ender Inciarte.
Initial reaction … ARE YOU ******* KIDDING ME?! Then I went to Twitter.
Anger, frustration, and confusion shifted to excitement, jubilation, and vindication without even applying the brakes. We just jobbed the DBacks out of their future.
