Would KP's contract have become easier to move in the summer? Would his max contract be more helpful in trades this summer than the two smaller ones?
Might be late to this but just going through the thread but essentially yes. The less years on KP's contract the easier it theoretically is to move and the more palatable it is to the receiving team. Further there is always the chance that KP breaks out and has an incredibly healthy season paired with good O and D.
THATS when you sell him. But whatever I've moved on. Dumb mistake and hopefully Dinwiddie and Bertans don't make us regret trading KP.
