Nah, he's gone. Bob wants to limit the payroll and he's probably going to get 5yr/$100-125m somewhere.

Spent 6 years "rebuilding", 2 years pretending to be a potential playoff team, and now another 5+ years of rebuild incoming.

He needs to sell the team.

Also this trade seems like a salary dump. They got back a 24-year-old 3B out of college who hit .196 in A Ball in 2021 after hitting .158 in A Ball in 2019. Oof.
