What the heck were they thinking?

Pittsburgh and Kansas City completed a one for one trade of young Major League talent. The River Rats moved defensive SS Bruce Mercedes to the Golden Ox for Left handed starting pitcher Orber Guerrero. Mercedes a 1st round pick in season 12 had seen limited playing time in 2 seasons with Pittsburgh. Guerrero signed as an international free agent in season 11 at the age of 18 did not spend much time in the minors. Called up to the show at the ripe old age of 20 he has 5 full major league seasons of 30 plus starts. Despite an overall major league record of 42 and 83 going into this season Orber is generally considered the better player in the deal. Why then did Kansas City move him? One word: signability. Insiders say that Guerrero's agent has his heart set on testing the free agent market. Even thou Guerrero loved the Kansas City fans and was a strong role model within the Dominican community he has decided to listen to his agent. This is probably based on the 12 million signing bonus his agent got him back in season 11. The question is can GM grivfmd1 convince his agent to sign a multi year deal. It is this reporters view that if Pittsburg can resign Orber than they win the deal. If he chooses free agency than the slight edge swings back to Kansas City.
