Mike Elias seems to have a trading problem :francis: and stacking moves

I can’t complain about him too much though
Yeah I don't feel he made a ton of trades when he was on the Astros staff.
I get more upset with Hyde than Elias. But, I don't think Elias will pull the plug on Hyde.

What makes it more odd is the Burnes trade was an all-in move. Why they stopped there, I'll never understand.
I'll always go back to the Red Sox trading Moncada for Sale. Flags fly forever. They're scared of trading the wrong guy. Holliday for Skubal might hurt long term seeing Holliday MAYBE be the guy, but Skubal in that rotation beats Houston in the ALCS.

Was a no-brainer offer for the Orioles to make. It made practical sense too because it's protection if Burnes walks in the winter.
