I know I'm using hindsight here, but when you add it up the Sauce trade is definitely worse.

That’s fair. I try not to use hindsight on these things. I thought the TR trade was bad when it was made. Sauce seemed like an overpay but considering where the team was at the time it was justifiable. You are right though - the end costs for Sauce will likely make it a more damaging trade long term.
