I don’t like trading produtive players to a divisional opponent unless they got a high quality return.

60 pounds of cheesestaks.

I guess it makes sense to trade relievers because this team can’t score enough runs to have a lead to protect.

OF John Spikerman-- Phillies' 27th ranked prospect, switch hitter, good speed but career sucks so far

SP Luke Gabrysh, who the Phillies must have hated being a St Joe's graduate from Wilmington, 5.14 ERA in A ball

[Cowtipper]

Meh.

Spikerman was not one of Jack Kirby's finest hours.

 Reasonable, but since he’s a free agent at the end of the year and the Mets don’t have meaningful games remaining with Philly, it’s a “meh” to me.

It looks like they got more for Minter, which is actually kind of surprising/disappointing.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Holmes better be a home run

[ashie62]

The better deal was for the cheese steaks 

[The Hot Corner]

Rather underwhelming return for a quality lefty reliever.
