Nats get Felipe Lopez, Ryan Wagner, and Austin Kearns from Reds for
literally nothing.

Not quite Kazmir for Zambrano, but still a steal.

I wouldn't call Bray and Majewski nothing, but I agree the Nats got the
better end of the deal.

Both are decent enough relievers, but two everyday players?

I would be extremely hesitant to deal two everyday players for Mariano
Rivera, nevermind Bray and Majewski :)

I don't see how Washington even had the nerve to make that request let
alone Cincy saying "Okay,we'll do it". I wouldn't do it if it was just
Lopez or just Kearns. To deal both of them for what they got is crazy.
Bowden pulled off the biggest steal since Florida got Hanley Ramirez,
Anibal Sanchez & 2 others for the honor of watching Boom Boom Beckett
lead the majors in HRs allowed, partially offset by a nice comeback
from Lowell.

I think Majewski is one of the worst relievers in the NL

I agree - the GM for the Reds should be sent to a mental hospital

Anyone notice how Kearns looked getting out of the box last night.  Twice it
looked as though he injured himself.  Kind of like a horse stumbling out of
the gate.
