They are gutted, but how many of the trades wouldn't you'd make again?   
[LIST=1]
[*]Moncada/Kopech for Sale is a no brainer, even though the 2 for 1 stings--especially since they got JD now.  
[*]Kimbrel?  He's pretty damn good.  4 prospects hurts from a pure numbers standpoint.
[*]Pomerantz for Espinoza, tbd.  Pomerantz has been OK, but who knows if Espinoza pans out in the end; think he had Tommy John surgery.  He still might have been valuable trade bait in the end.
[*]Carson Smith hasn't worked out overall due to injuries.  Maybe he's turning a corner though.
[*]Ziegler was a decent trade.
[*]The Tyler Thornburg trade was a bum trade (3 prospects +Shaw).   
[/LIST]
I mean, looking at it, I'm probably making 1 through 5 again.   I'd take back Carson Smith deal, but that's only because of unknown injuries after the fact.

I think where he's been dragging is all of these multiple prospect for single player trades.   I think other GMs know they can squeeze Dombrowski because he's willing to give up a bunch of dudes to guarantee a deal goes through.  His style gives up leverage implicitly.

Well, they have the answer to that one on the roster right now, with Martinez, Moreland, and maybe Swihart.  You just have to sacrifice D to do that.
