Has anyone evaluated the options Smith had?

No, not "The Red Sox / Yankees proposals" v. "The Mets deal" ....

In December, 'everyone' thought the Red Sox / Yankees offers weren't nearly good enough for Johan, that the Twins would get better deals if they held out & that Johan would waive the no-trade clause ('no problem').

Now, of course, Smith should've taken one of those deals ....

Has anyone evaluated what Smith actually had to choose between, to wit:

"One year of Johan + two draft picks"

vs.

"The four players we got from the Mets."
