The only reason Gausman signed here is because AA signed Guerrero in the first place. Same with Springer, same with Ryu. If AA didn't leave us with Guerrero, this team would not be such a desirable destination.
Also: I f***ing love this signing.
It's mortifyingly awful for Albies and Acuna, but I can't imagine a GM making any two moves that could possibly result in as much surplus value. AA is literally a god tier GM on this alone.
AA hoodwinked Acuna and Albies into by far the most team-friendly contracts in baseball, creating a game-breaking level of value and payroll flexibility.
