Obviously, Chase Headley was not better than Yangervis Solarte in 2015 and Headley certainly was not 25 times better as his salary would suggest.
Cashman traded a player almost three years younger who was paid about half a million dollars for a guy who was paid $13 million and whom Cashman signed through 2018 for $13 million per year.
Has anyone even suggested that Cashman made a mistake? A big mistake?
