"the original trade was the original trade.."
Dude, where were you when the original trade went down? Because that next season Swanson was lights out for us and more valuable to the team than Teo would have been. In 2023 Swanson pitched over 66 innings and finished the year with an era+ of 145!
Was a very good deal considering we could have zero for Teo if he walked and we also had the ability to re- acquire him and keep Swanson.
Your revisionist history won't work on this board.
