After seeing what Atlanta gave up for Upton, and knowing what the Mariners had offered, I have no choice but to call for the complete revocation of trading privileges from our GM. The package that Arizona accepted was 50 cents on the dollar to what Seattle was willing to give up. Does Zduriencik really have no idea what the going rate is for a player, or is he just a totally incompetent negotiator? Throw in the Morse trade, the Fister trade, the Morrow trade, etc. and you can see a fairly clear pattern.

Tell him he can be in charge of the draft and find someone else to make trades. JZ doesn't cut it.
