But then we wouldn't have Mize and Manning in our rotation.  

We still don't and wouldn't you make that trade ? 🙂 But seriously I am just joking since nobody could have imagined these two old guys would still be so good in 2022.

Maybe our  rebuild should have included signing Verlander and Scherzer to 8 year contracts. I mean even today who's better ?

JV is going to pitch into his 40's. Effectively. He really is a throwback. I know we had to shed payroll but he's the ace of the Houston staff and he would be Detroits ace too.

Even at the time I thought cutting JV loose was a bad move. That Scherzer is still pitching surprises me, that JV still is does not. We certainly are not going to recoup JV's WAR from the guys we got for him (well it would take a miracle at this point anyway) and they would have sold at lot more seats every 5th day at COPA. The only reasonable arg for the trade is the tanking arg - do they miss the two 1/1s if they win a few more games each of those season? In Torks case it's a reasonable arg as he is the only one of the top 10 picks from that draft to make it to the majors this fast. Several guys from the top of Mize's draft are going to be good players.
