I am not arguing whether or not they would play here. I am arguing that value for value, this was a bad deal. I don't believe for a second that any of us know what Stowers value was. Stowers might have been the key to the deal. I have no idea. But in my mind, 2 starters for their 2024 team for a #4 is GOOD VALUE for them.
Why do you think the O's always draft the best player instead of a need? Value....I don't always agree with it, but it is a fact.
