I get losing out Mario/Irvin because you were working on your #1 target in Vernon, but our backup plan in Ayers is now going somewhere else on what seems to be a very reasonable deal after we had him in the building. Dave is a pretty good GM and it's obvious he knows we need to get better edge players since we've been going after them all free agency, so there has to be at least something cooking with trades because it makes zero sense otherwise.
