So while you can't really defend Hendry after this trade deadline we still don't know what was offered.
Sure the Rangers asked about Marmol, but they obviously weren't willing to give up anything for Heath Bell so what makes you think they would give up anything for Marmol?
Aramis could have gone to Pittsburgh but he obviously doesn't want to go back and there is definitely some bad blood there (and before someone says "Well maybe Hendry shouldn't hand out NTC's like they are candy WAHHHH!!!" he has 10-5 rights so that NTC matters none here.
As for Pena seeing what was offered for Fukudome if we are going to get type B compensation for him I would rather go down that route anyhow so I am kinda glad he wasn't traded. Plus there is still time and he will probably pass waivers anyhow.
Reed Johnson? Well he should have been gone for well anything you could get.
Marshall again unless you are getting something decent. We don't know what was out there.
Comparing him to Wade is kind of silly because Pence and Bourn are much better pieces than anything we have to offer (sans Castro).
Hendry traded the one starter who we could get nothing for when he leaves, so that's okay, but I honestly think that no matter what Hendry did/does people are going to hate it.
Would I have loved to have seen moves? Sure, but I don't want them just making trades to make trades.
