With the money we gave them it pretty much came out even. What we got, a solid 2B over what we gave up, an awful 1B. Those were my thoughts at the time. 2 years later and so far it's a clear win for us.
You can say we got Fister, initially for basically nothing, and the Green trade was good so far but that doesn't take away that trading Fister for dogshit was a stupid move. Plus we did trade someone else for Greene. Granted who knows if he's any good but still..
The Fister trade is a wound that will never heal with some tigers fans. It was a bad trade always will be nothing will ever change that. It would be great if Green could put in a solid season this year. He is a LOW COST starter pitching in a launching pad in New York last year. My personal opinion is that Shane Green is going to be a pitcher the Yankees are going to regret trading. His home and away splits are like night and day.

Also the other player that was included in the Green trade with Robbie Ray was 19-year-old infielder Domingo Leyba. I doubt Leyba will amount to anything.
