Say you have a grove of orange trees. And you have this one young orange tree that has some pretty good, but not great, oranges on it and it appears that that orange tree will produce good oranges for a lot of years to come. A lot of people would love to have a young orange tree like this that will give them delicious oranges for years to come. Now while you enjoy eating oranges, you have already have two great orange trees (though one of the orange trees has a problem being on time) that you use for your personal orange supply. It is unlikely that any of the oranges from this young tree will ever end up in your kitchen. Therefore, you decide to barter the orange tree to get something else that will please your palette. Maybe you get a great tomato plant or you try to couple that orange tree with a few other trees in your grove to get the best meal of your life.
Well, the Phillies just handed that orange tree over to the Royals and got an old hot dog. Welcome to Philadelphia, Ron Mahay.
