There is no way to overstate this. This may be one of the 5 worst trades of the modern era. If Swanson becomes an All Star the Dbacks will be the punch line in that joke for the next 15 years.

I can see Swanson being an All Star.

 

[Matt L]

It was/is a bad trade even if Swanson never becomes an all-star.

I actually think he doesn't become an all-star and is more of a solid player rather than a super-star. plus, the dogers and cubs have pretty young SS's who will probably dominate the all-star voting for the next 5 years.

What I can't understand is how someone comes to the Dbacks and his ERA DOUBLES??

 

[DbacksvsTwins]

Miller is not worth an even trade for either Ender Inciarte or Dansby Swanson. Instead of 38-52 after 90 games, the Dbacks would be 52-38 if Pollock were healthy and Miller had an ERA of 3.50.

OK, this is essentially like saying Beetlejuice 3 times. (cue DWKB)

At least now management is admitting they may have made a mistake....we know they made a mistake. If they were going to trade that kind of package maybe they should have targeted a better SP than Miller or if they would have went out and sprung for a better bullpen (closer to be specific) maybe we'd be in a better situation...I was hoping ARZ would have made a deal for K-Rod who is having a great year for DET.

Miller's history shows that he should be a solid #2. So I can see why the Dbacks made the trade. Even if they gave up too much.

But this looks like it could be a case of a player just completely losing it. Which it hopefully isn't. All you can do is keep him in the minors and hope he comes back strong next year. (As the #4 or #5. Less expectations.) If the wheels fall off again you just cut your losses, accept that it was a horrible trade, and take the inevitable / deserved punishment from the media.

I wonder why ARZ didn't ask for Teheran instead of Miller, he would have probably been the better acquisition. Looks like ATL may put him on the market at the deadline.

Only one man can save the trade for the DBacks, and that man showed up at camp with a smiling face, confident demeanor and ripped physique at age 26.

Remember Shelby Miller?

The DBacks control him for three more seasons, and I’m going to take an educated guess and predict that they will not regret it.

You read it here first: Miller will be a quality major-league pitcher again. Maybe not the No. 2 starter that Stewart envisioned. But someone closer to the guy who had a 3.27 ERA in 95 starts between 2013 and ’15.

I tend to agree. I think Miller will show his potential this year. Heaven knows we need it.

 

[GatorAZ]

I just hate that we gifted Atlanta two cornerstones.

 

[Dback Jon]

Hope he returns to decent form. Still hate the trade...

Flexor strain, partial ligament tear in right elbow for #Dbacks Miller; still weighing options including Tommy John surgery

#Dbacks Shelby Miller has tear in UCL. Evaluating his options. Also has flexor strain.

 

[BC867]

I was sorry to see him fail and certainly sorry to see his various injuries -- dragging his knuckles on the ground while pitching and now this.

The D-backs took a chance and have to face the financial implications of projecting him as a #2 starter.

The bright side is that they can now look to Archie Bradley to get back in starter condition, which we all look forward to.

#Dbacks Torey Lovullo said Archie Bradley is a candidate to take Miller's place in rotation.

This is just sad for Shelby. You guys have said it all, how it affects us. That sucks but in terms of the man, he played like crap last year and probably screwed up his elbow in the process by trying all kinds of things with his delivery to get better... So he comes out this year and pitches well, not great but not bad either. He was on the path to atleast redeeming himself a little and then this happens. Just sucks for him, because even in spring training, you could tell that he was focused and working really hard to not be a "disappointment."

As Kobe would say; It is what it is...

Sucks for everyone, except the Braves. lol

 

[Bert]

If there is any consolation, Swanson isn't exactly tearing it up in ATL this season...
