    I like this trade. Loperfido back and Sanchez gone is a win/win.

    Agreed.

    The position player roster went from a C - to a C

    That is because of Joey's versatility and ability to be sent to AAA if necessary.

    The trade is a B because it gives $6M back to use on salary and it gets rid of that dumbass smile.

    Adding a decent backup catcher gets it closer to a C + but not quite.

    Trading Walker or Paredes for a legitimate impact LH bat makes it a B - to B + depending on the deal.

    Hated thinking about having to root for Sanchez. Something about his personality.
