People are always stunned when a World Series team loses a couple big players. This isn’t the first time it happened and it won’t be the last. Mookie asking for a 12 year contract is nerve wrecking. That’s a very long contract and anything can happen. Also if this Alex Verdugo is as good as people say, we didnt leave empty handed. It’s always a shock losing a great player like Mookie no doubt, but this team will build. I hate that he has left, but I’m a bit surprised there are so many people surprised that he was traded.
