The trade worked because Bailey had a contract that was even worse. I agree on Trammel and also on center fielders being the hardest OF spot to field. An Ace pitcher has more value though, even one with 3 years of guaranteed control.
That’s why we package Kemp with a couple top prospects, like Senzel and Santillan, the team pays his contract because they want those prospects and he still has some pop left in his bat. He is a much better player right now than Bailey is right now.
