Capitulation

The Arizona Diamondbacks have given up.  They have assumed the position of capitulation.  In this position, they have traded away their ace Dan Haren for the Angels Joe Saunders and 3 pitching prospects.  Capitulation.

Look, I know the season is lost for the D-Backs but you don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater.  What I ask you does this trade do to serve the D-Backs interests?  What?  Besides the D-Backs saving Haren’s salary, what?  They have given away their very building block plus some prospects as well.  In my opinion, the D-Backs have capitulated this season and their future as well.
