First question I have is are we still following the rule where a new GM can't make trades for the first two weeks? We have had that rule in the past but it has been a while since we have had a new owner in the league.
I see this as a horrible trade for the rockies as the return on Upton and Young is pretty low. Upton is a young star outfielder locked up on a cost controlled contract for the next four four years. Young is due to become an FA at the end of the year and would need to be resigned but is a good player. The return that the rockies are getting is not nearly good enough. Carlos lee is mostly free but is a 35 year old player on the downside of his career. Mike morse is not young as he is in fact 30 years old and has had one solid year in the majors. Drew Smyly is a pretty good young pitcher but this league values hitters greater then pitchers.
Veto, if allowed to trade or not.COL did not stick to what they said in trade block. Do we need to discuss COL GM position again after this?
