Seattle played Amaro so badly on this. They get Lee for three nothing prospects, get an all star 1/2 season out of him then flip him for a stud first baseman who should be a cornerstone for years. There was zero chance that Texas would have traded Smoak for those three mutts the Phillies got.
Supposedly Montero was going to have to be the one the Yanks sent back. Probably a better move they didnt trade him in the long run as they will probably sign Lee in the off season anyway. Jack Zduriencik played the system about as good as it could be played.
