If you're upset, be upset with the trade we did make as opposed to the one we didn't make (and shouldn't have made)
Huh? The trade they did make was likely a direct result of not trading Mallex for Smyly themselves. They couldn't trade for Smyly because they already filled the rotation with lesser pitchers on 1 year deals.

Are you completely unable to comprehend how these deals are related?
