Werenski makes some sense. We get him for 2 years. They get Knies for 5. They have a tough time attracting and retaining talent. We take the risk that Werenski fucks off in 2 years. Or we win a lot and he stays.
Varsho sucks. How predictable that he’d strike out with the bases loaded. With Straw and Lukes on the roster he’d be the guy I love to upgrade the offense.
Out of the last twenty 4th overall picks, how many are clearly better than Knies? Looks like less than half with a few still developing. No chance I’m moving Knies for just 4th overall. It’d need to be a significant overpay. Something that would make their GM sick to his stomach.
