At first glance, that's an awful return. Clear salary dump.


Keith Law's take:

9. Chase Petty, RHP
Age: 19 | 6-1 | 190 pounds
Bats: Right | Throws: Right
Drafted: No. 26 in 2021

Petty was the Twins’ first-round pick in 2021, a hard-throwing, athletic right-hander from southern New Jersey who hit 101 in the spring, would regularly sit 95-98 and showed a potentially plus slider in the upper 80s. It’s a high-effort delivery with some head violence, certainly not one you typically see in a starter, so the Twins may have to decide to tone down the delivery to give him a better chance to start or roll the dice on the pure power of his arm and see if he can get to command in spite of how it all works.

Good. Saving Uncle Bob more millions. Hopefully he doesn’t fuck up his kids inheritance by investing it back in the team.

Krall even said financial concerns was why he was traded. Id rather pay Grey 10mil over whatever astronomical number we are giving our 3rd base platoon....at least we have the DH this year...not that i like the dh....

That was probably the best they could get for him. He was fading bad at the end of the year. Same with Miley. Plus he spent a lot of time on the disabled list. Agree the trio of Suarez, Votto and MOustaskas is outlandish. 53 percent of the payroll now and next year. Plus Griffey is still making 3 mil a year,

Votto was at least still productive and honestly when he's done he could be at least in the conversation as greatest Red.
