I wish I hated anything as much as you hate the Reds lol
It was a great move. Cueto wasn't resigning, so he got 3 players out of it, 2 of which still have bright futures.
Heck, if I had the same mentality as you, I'd be furious at Theo and Jed Hoyer for trading away a multi time All Star pitcher while he was in the minors for a guy they flipped for 3 solid, if unspectacular relief pitchers. Or trading away a multi time All Star 2B who has won a gold glove and led the NL in BA for a guy they cut within 3 months.
No GM makes the best move 100% of the time.
