You can be excited about Adley Rutschman but also admit nobody thought the cost would be this high.
Some serious stones to make a deal like this. The pitching side doesn’t even bother me. I assumed Eyanson. Thought it was going to be a Witherspoon vs. Azocar type of thing. Not both.
Feels like Azocsr stock is about to surge. It was also very obvious that Witherspoon hasn’t mixed well with the pitching program. I trust them to reproduce pitching. Little scarier on the position player side right now.
Still, if Adley can get extended and hold down catcher during a championship window, it works out for everyone. If that doesn’t happen and these names become mainstays in Baltimore, you’ll have a constant reminder for a long time.
Bro everyone on here is either pissed about the prospect haul or riding a high horse saying “who cares about the prospects.” The reality is that it is a massive price to pay, BUT your major league team got better. Everyone relax. Two things can be true
