I've looked this deal over more closely and it's not terrible. Let's face it, there's a limited number of teams that Boras will accept a deal and an even more limited number of teams that will want to take on Trembath. The package is rather "meh", but SFG has gotten himself into a mess. Yes, it's bad that he's flipping NTC guys so quickly, but the alternative is to force Trembath to stay in SFG and waste away while further hurting SFG's franchise.
Neither Maes or Uckerman are great, but both are solid and both are still pre-window. The best thing to do is just watch over re-signings better and not allow every deal to be submitted. Like I said in another thread, you can cripple a team just as much in FA/Re-signings as you can in trades. It's not about telling someone that they can't re-sign a player, it might be just telling them they need to wait (if the player has arbitration years left).
So I'll approve it.
