At the end of the day you still have two bad contracts. Holland and Trevliving are buddies and found an opportunity to help each other out as the status quo for each team apparently not something each was willing to try again.

That's a big maybe from me. As I said before if management wanted Neal gone yesterday then sure this deal was very likely the only option. But that's not the bone of contention for me it's people saying this was the only deal possible, full stop. And yes some have essentially said this.
