Touki Touissant trade: Baseball writers weigh in on Braves fleecing Diamondbacks

When a trade goes down, baseball writers attempt to evaluate the pros and cons for both teams. How does it help them now? How does it help them down the road? In most cases, national pundits see the value for both teams. Granted they may like the trade for one side more than the other, but it's rarely as one-sided as the reaction was on Saturday night when the Braves acquired top-prospect Touki Touissant and Bronson Arroyo for Phil Gosselin.

The reaction on Twitter was pretty incredible:
