    Not really, Wentz was our #7 prospect in my book (just below Muller and just above Ynoa). Farm system is still loaded. Early returns on 2019 draft are very promising.

He is making 4M this year and will probably make 6M next. I'm not gonna give him bonus points for the shiny 2019 ERA.
    So, say 1.5 WAR the rest of this year plus next; at ~$7.5-million salary, that’d be SV of $6m if you say $9m/WAR, or SV of $4.5m if you say $8m/WAR. At 45 FV, Wentz is estimated at $3m FV; toss in Demeritte, and it seems pretty fair—a “win”, even, if you factor Contenders’ Premium.

    I wouldn't be surprised if Greene was the least effective of the 3 guys we acquired. We had to pay more because he has an extra year of control, has been closing and has a shiny ERA this year. But my a priori is Miller should close (assuming he is healthy).

    No he's not. The Braves weren't going to acquire a RP that was a huge upgrade over Jackson? That guy just wasn't out there. These moves were about making the pen a lot deeper.

    Nonetheless, all three plus Jackson are much better than just Jackson.

    Yeah I'd say it's pretty even. Not an overpay at all. AA doesn't overpay.

    For me Wentz is more of a 45+. Applying contender's premium to an expected .5 WAR this year doesn't move the needle much. Even the contender's premium, Greene's expected surplus value is not quite 1 WAR.

    Yea, I just don’t see Wentz as a 45+, but even still it seems like a pretty even deal to me.

    Even at 45+ that would be 6 million in value. I don't see how this is an overpay.

    Wentz is a back end starter or possibly good reliever. I would be far more upset if we were giving up Cruz, Ynoa, or Muller. Wentz doesnt have the upside of a lot of our other prospects. Good luck with Wentz for 200 innings a year. He isnt going to hold up for that.

    Trade announced by the club with just Wentz and TD. I can’t seem to remember, but I don’t recall teams leaving out a PBTNL in the releases traditionally.

    Good—I hope that’s the case. As it is, Kiley called the return “a little light” on Detroit’s end, which seems to boost the notion that this was a fair-value deal.
