Both sides have acknowledged that it's a sign and trade. I'm perfectly alright with that since I was looking at Bickford to be my LF and recently decided he needs another year in Triple-A. At this point in FA, there aren't many viable options left.
With Burned realizing he's oversigned OFs, it's likely Cooper will be relegated to a bench role. Here, in Colorado, he'll be able to play everyday. We could sit here and hold tightly to the fact that it's a sign and trade or we could realize that this situation benefits Cooper much more than remaining on Detroit.
