Let's look at who the best player(s) are in this trade:
Pujols is still the best, bar none. I know he's down a bit, but it's only a small 2 month window vs a 10 year dominant history. I'm sure the contract stuff is on his mind, but I doubt seriously he doesn't begin cranking soon.
As for the pitching side, right now Verlander is the best. But, when your considering trading both Gallardo and Strasburg for him, to me, that's simply too much.
Outfield - long term it's Hayward. He's struggling a bit this year with his shoulder, but long term, he should be the dominant OF.
So, in short, you're looking at giving up the best player, the best OF long term, and two premier pitchers long term for one.
I'd stay put.
