Yeah, RIP to Lukas's playing time. I'd be surprised if he isn't traded or penciled in for Buffalo honestly. Sanchez is for his career about what Lukas was last year (in X3 the playing time) and he's younger. So basically they traded Loperfido for a version of Lukas that will be less subject to variance.
Hard for me to see this as anything but a response to the news that Santander will (again) miss significant time. I kind of like the trade. Not sold on Loperfido being an average or better MLB'er which is basically what Sanchez is (albeit more expensive).
