With the news about Casilla today -- no surgery indicated at this time, he will be evaluated again in a week, and Cuddyer coming back soon, I'm not really sure a deal was needed. Bill Smith said he'd rather make no deal than a "bad" one. I agree with that stance.
It would have been nice to get another bat for a couple of expendible arms -- Bonser and Bass, with Bass more expendible, IMO, but we do not know the prices that were being asked for guys like Beltre, Roberts, etc.
