It was a flipping zero …. Even if it was a future potential move. There is almost no chance that Rogers out WARs Norby moving forward much less the years of control period. 

And Joey Ortiz is virtually a lock to out-WAR Corbin Burnes during their respective periods of control.

Should we have not made the trade then?

I expect our new ownership group to extend Burnes…That said it’s apples and oranges. Burnes was an ace and Rogers a 5 ERA pitcher.

If we weren't going to make the deadline moves to compete for a world series, we should not have made the move.

It's not apples and oranges though. You set the criteria for judging a trade as total WAR produced during the period of team control, and by that criteria, the Orioles are going to lose the Burnes trade by a mile.

In your opinion.

So one player was productive in 2024 which is why he was acquired. The other did nothing but lose games for us and get sent to the minors if you can’t see the difference, I can’t help,
