I genuinely don't believe the value difference between rental and re-signed is the chasm some are making it out to be. The Dobson trade is probably absolute max value you get, so two mid round firsts in a weaker draft.
Life's way too short to be outraged at stuff like this.

Yah, people thinking it could be for Byfield are just setting themselves up for disappointment. Who knows what these guys think a "whopper" deal is? I'm guessing it might have been a lottery protected 1st and a prospect. Which is actually quite a bit for Andersson already IMO.
