Poor Mike Cisco got traded for nothing. Not "future considerations" (the "I'll get you next time" of trades) or even "cash considerations" (the "why don't I buy you dinner and we call it even?" of trades), but nothing at all. Nada, zilch, zero, etc.
The messed-up part is that Cisco's not bad. Since becoming a full-time reliever in 2011, the 25-year-old righty has a 1.70 ERA over 137 1/3 innings at Double- and Triple-A. And now he's been straight-up donated to the Los Angeles Angels, a team with a $145 million payroll and a huge TV deal and Mike Trout and absolutely no need whatsoever for charity.
Do the Phillies get a tax write-off?
Or maybe general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. gains some competitive advantage from the meditative value of contemplating nothingness, staring into the void left on Triple-A Lehigh Valley's roster and understanding for one fleeting moment the enormity of our universe and the liberating meaninglessness of existence.
