It’s a tough look, no question. Scott Harris, the Detroit Tigers’ first-year president of baseball operations, took a swing at the trade deadline and missed … a chance to take another swing on a prospect.

But when you consider the math involved, the Tigers’ missed opportunity Tuesday isn’t quite the disaster it appears to be. Unless the prospects offered to Scott Harris for Eduardo Rodriguez before he settled on the Dodgers’ proposal turn out to be difference-makers, though we’ll never know, right?

And may never want to know. That’d just add to the pain.
