I was definitely following the Braves back then, but I still don't understand this trade, even retroactively. I have a horribly bad feeling that the trade was made just to get a lefty in the lineup in the form of Michael tucker.

And honestly? For the suspenders overall, between this trade, the David Justice trade, and gutting our farm for Mark Teixeira, it's hard for me to look back on his tenure with much positivity.

I would appreciate any perspective on the career of what I presume was a Hall of Fame General manager.
