At the time, I thought it was an overpay, and I still think it was. We paid $100 for a $60 steak. Eaton was a top asset, and we paid a whole lot knowing we needed a table setter and would have enough pitching in the postseason.
But it was a "win now" move and at the end of the day Adam Eaton was in the lineup every day for a World Series winner. The White Sox got a top pitcher.
I think it was the definition of a win-win trade.
