Drew Pomeranz acquired via Trade

It was only a matter of time before Dave Dombrowski started selling off elite prospects. For those who don't know, Anderson Espinoza is the best right handed pitching prospect they've had since Roger Clemens. He throws in the upper 90s reaching 100 on occasion. He has three pitches and good command. Oh, and he's just 18 years old. Drew Pomeranze was traded for Yonder Alonzo. Yep, A.J. Preller (Padres G.M.) turned Yonder Alonzo into arguably a top 3 minor league arm. This would be like if the Dodgers traded Julio Urias or Pirates dealt Glasnow. What an awful trade. Drew Pomeranz is a decent left hander who has put up good numbers this season. He's been a journeyman 5th starter/long reliever and now is 27 y/o. Much of his success has been because he pitches in a division with 3 of the best ballparks for left handed pitchers. This trade is akin to when Jeff Bagwell was traded for Larry Anderson. Ughhhhh
