MacDougal for Cortes and...
Even if it turns out to be a six-pack of Natty Light, it still seems like a good deal to me. Despite the best prospect (Cortes) turning out to not be the guy who was actually targeted (Lumsden).
that is a very good point to remember
Cortes will potentially make this trade a steal for the Royals, but at the time it was made, he was viewed as the throw-in, with Lumsden being the centerpiece of the trade.
That being said, I think Lumsden is at least worth a six-pack of Pabst.
I'd Hold Out
For a sixer if this:

I take some responsibility for this trade
I dropped Lumsden off of my 23 man roster a couple of weeks ago in my keeper league.

I'm mostly unsurprised.
He’ll be a nice reliever somewhere in the Houston organization. Not a whole lot more.
If that
I will be genuinely surprised if Lumsden sees regular MLB duty anytime soon.

I could forsee an Ed Hearn-type of quote from Lumsden...
“…if the worst part of my career was that I got traded with Dan Cortes, then that’s a-okay.”
