I'm a little surprised by the Andrelton Simmons deal; in a market that values defense so highly, with Simmons the best in the game at the most important position, he seemed like a player that Atlanta would keep to build around unless they got an overwhelming offer for him. Instead, the Angels sent back a return that seems fair, rather than lopsided in Atlanta's favor, so it's a good baseball deal but not the kind of home run Simmons' many fans in Georgia were hoping to see.
The Angels' side is costly, but fair: They got the best defensive shortstop in the game – innumerate postseason awards be damned – but gave up their top two prospects for him, which hampers their ability to make any other significant moves this winter without spending a lot of cash.
