Re: Trade between West Virginia and Aurora
Gunner has been such an enigmatic issue. We got all of one half a season out of him, though he's due to be healthy soon. With no guarantee that he'll perform at a reasonable level, he couldn't be counted on - then again, scouts seem to think he's going to be fine - and WV certainly gambles there - and it's a gamble that could have a big effect on the IL race. His salary, and contract status also was problematic. He's scheduled for $17M next year - a sum we certainly can afford, but again the uncertainty of what we see out of him is a concern. Plus, that salary is on a player option - thus we risk losing him if he pitches well, and being stuck for it if he doesn't pitch well. Oh... And he doesn't like our manager. After much consternation, we opted to pray to the OOTP Gods and get something tangible.
I certainly hope he likes who's in charge in WV and if he stays, he gives Greg a solid 2025, as I'm sure that'll be a chunk of change out of their 2025 budget. Best case scenario for them is that he's a $6M gamble who pitches well for the stretch drive.
