Shapiro and Atkins have done a great job of buliding a roster and prospect pool that is deep enough that you have the assets to make a move like this.
Saying they should be fired immediately (or even using the negative Shatkins nickname to start with) is ridiculous.
Huge price to pay but it's for a 27 year old pitcher with one year of control that they may be able to extend. His 2.3 WAR season to date have him as a top 25 pitcher in the MLB.
Anthopoulis gave up more than this for a 38 year old knuckleball pitcher in RA Dickey.
