I agree. I do not like the deal (I actually hate it) if we have to give up a top prospect-blue chipper like D'Arnaud. Catchers are difficult to come by let alone a highly touted and skilled one. I realize knuckleballers have longevity but Dickey really had one solid year-one and now at 38. We are given up a potential franchise-game changer player as TDA, which may come back to haunt us. We already have given up a few good prospects but now maybe the farm. If we can't get an extension from Dickey 'cause he will be UFA next year, then that is a huge gamble for a one chance kick at the can...
There must be a few scenarios available to AA besides Dickey. Why not wait and see how the rest of the rotation will shape up before selling our best and no.1 prospect for a 38 year old that might not stay after next year.
I hope the trade for Dickey peters out...
