The trade changed
It's not Kontos and Coke, but Karstens and McCutchen going to Pittsburgh. This definitely makes it look better from Pitt's side, as McCutchen is a fairly high ceiling pitcher, and Karstens already has shown he can be an effective ML pitcher. Both should do better in the NL Central as well.

Earlier in the season, approximately 6 weeks ago - things looked bleak. Everyone was calling for the heads of Willie Randolph, Carlos Delgado, Oliver Perez and everyone else who contributed to such a poor and utterly start. The Mets were 34-36 and six and a half games out and it did not look good.. The Phillies were riding the high horse to glory and it seemed like they were not looking back..
