They seem concerned about cost control now
LGJ and Teo were getting a bit expensive in later arb years and now we have Varsho and KK quite cost effective
Though all at the same same time they're paying Springer 25M.
Feels like a deal where we normally get a prospect back at the lower levels in addition to the major leaguer
Is 6M in payroll reduction enough to counteract that?
I think ARI got more overall player value out of the trade
But I also think the Jays upgraded the team quite substantially
This was the young controllable LH hitting OF they were after

But I also think the Jays upgraded the team quite substantially because you can't extract value from 3 catchers and Varsho is excellent

Obv not
Point is you don't know who is going to flourish into a good MLB player
At one point anyone would have traded Manoah ahead of Pearson. And obviously would now be unhappy you did it
