I think the Indians made out quite well in the trade. They got a lot of talent back in return for a rental player. The Brewers gave up a lot though. If they win it all (doubtful) I don't see why they would regret anything. I'd trade a few years of mediocrity for a World Series win. Look at the DBacks, they are still paying for their 2001 World Series (about $20M per year in deferred salaries). This absolutely handicaps their ability to sign talent but I wouldn't change a thing, it was totally worth it.
So the Brew's pitching will be gone next season; in return they will have two type A free agents and get some great draft picks as compensation.
I'll say it again, I think it's BS to look at 20 innings and say that CC can't win big games. He has thrown over 1500 innings.
