So the Mets get another catcher who can't stay healthy and the Reds get another starter who can't get anyone out. Bonus!

How much are these GM's making?

do 'fresh starts' ever work out in sports?

i.e. 2nd chances and a change of scenery - but are there any examples recently of a player blossoming (in any sport) with a change of scenery in recent memory?

hey twothousandonemark (sorry if i got your name wrong - can't scroll up) - there was a phil a few years back - he was regarded as a 5 Tool Prospect - this is when they were riding high like 2007-2011 - his name was Domonic Brown - was so excited when they called him up - i think i remember his first at bat he even hit a laser double off the fence.......

he completely bombed here. last i saw he was on the Jays (at least I thought) - do you know of, heard of a 'Domonic Brown'?

Sure do. Look at Justin Verlander for a recent example. As the team began descending into the abyss, he had devolved from a once-elite pitcher to a quality but hardly memorable player. Forgettable even, with moments of really showing some age. He gets traded to a contender and now he's back among the elite. Even his body language has improved.
