No need to trade him just to trade him. Let him start and play everyday at Tacoma and see what happens. Maybe he catches fire and we can bring him up, maybe trade him during the year, maybe neither and he just plays all year down. None of the things hurt us other than he takes a 40 man spot which should not be a factor.The reason I'm in favor of it is I don't really see what else we do with Evan White aside from trading him.
You're correct regarding Glasnow's injury situation and the belief is that he'd be ready for the 2023 season, then become a free agent. The reason I like the trade is that I don't see that Evan White fits into the future of this team in any capacity be it in 2022 or 2023, and I'll be honest I absolutely love Glasnow.
I'm operating under the assumption that he is able to fully recover, but Glasnow's stuff is ridiculous. He throws 100mph with ease even 90+ pitches into the game and has great secondary pitches. It would be a gamble on his health, but he has a Cy Young caliber pitch arsenal.
There's a ton of holes to be poked in this move, but I honestly don't really see what to do with Evan White.
Now if there is a deal that makes sense for us and the other team, I am totally with you but a rehabbing pitcher with one year of control is a give away in my book.
