It would suck to trade Brannstrom like that but IF it allows to sign Pinto, then why not. It would just add in Dorion's LOSS column which is pretty huge already
This trade only saves 1.225 AAV but allows to sign Pinto at 2.5? Didn't expect that... problem is that removes Ridly Greig from the roster, which should not happen.
Greig + Brannstrom > Pinto + Seeler so you're downgrading the team strength
Which is another reason why the NO BRAINER solution is to deal Kubalik. Not sure why it hasn't been done yet, they were probably waiting to see what was going to happen with Norris.
And if the game yesterday isn't a PROOF that you should never separate Norris and Batherson, I don't know what will.
