I mean, if you’re gonna trade BWJ now, what’s the point in even having a baseball team. Might as well just sell it now and move on. And as a fanbase, we should completely turn our back on this franchise if they’re willing to trade away a guy like Witt in his second full season in the Bigs.
That would be the most ducking reeruned move of all time.

The only pushback I would give against that is what kind of payroll crippling contract would it take to get BWJ to stick around? Are you ready for 10 years 400 million? Or are you willing to let him walk and get some crap comp pick?
