One team doesn't have to fleece the other. The key to this trade for the Pirates was Tabata. The Pirates took a high risk bet that somehow he grows up and can play up to his potential. That is a reasonable gamble to take. As for Karsens as part of the deal, one game is not a career. He will probably be a low end #5 on a staff, or a good long man in the pen. He won't be the next great pitcher. Why can’t a deal be good for both teams? One team doesn’t have to fleece the other. The key to this trade for the Pirates was Tabata.
