Yes, and Woods-Richardson turning into a top 2 or 3 starter at the major league level is just about the only thing that can save this trade. As it is, he's a good 3-4 years out and we're pinning our hopes on an 18-year-old pitcher.
Ultimately though, this was a trade that never needed to happen. Stroman wanted to stay here, and would have provided huge stability for the pitching staff as the kids grow into major leaguers. I'm really looking forward to seeing Vlad, Bo and Biggio next month, but I'm even happier the Mariners will get my money and not Rogers.
