I couldn't disagree more. Even Glasnow himself admitted as much. It was in his head and he needed a fresh start. He was a hot mess here. Now adding Meadows and Baz are what I had a real problem with.
unfortunately, its easy to bring money up in most deals with the Pirates. One of the things that made Archer attractive to the Bucs was his contract (cheap for a starting pitcher) and years of control.
Adding those factors in the number of pitchers that the Pirates would want to deal for was tiny. Now we have to root for Archer to be better in Pittsburgh than he was in Tampa and Keller has to be an impact pitcher too.
