The timing of his development and the development of our team didn't align. The fact that he was out of options forced us to make a decision. We feel he has a chance to be a very good major league player. Hopefully he'll get his chance.
We feel Brandon still has a chance to be a very good major league player. It was a question of timing. His development and that of our team didn't align.
We took our time to examine all potential alternatives, contacted every team, and tried to make the best deal we could. I think there were a lot of teams, like us, that liked his talent, but found it hard to find a spot on their major league team.
He still has a chance to be a very good Major League player.
Hopefully we'll get a guy that we feel is going to be able to play in the major leagues. He'll most likely be a ways away.
