Some felt the mistake was made when they signed Tanev and hoped Seattle would take him. Now he's the very reason why Gio is being exposed.

Perhaps we aren't as good at identifying the mistakes as we think.

I agree in a perfect and completely pragmatic world they would have traded Gio at the deadline. I wish this organization functioned with that type of brutal honesty towards asset management. It rarely, if ever, has.
How happy would we have been when his contract was signed to know that the club could get out from underneath the final year for free?

Credit where it’s due, that was a good contract for the team.
