The Pirates' trade with the Rays last season, sending Tyler Glasnow, Austin Meadows and Shane Baz — then a "player to be named later" — to Tampa in exchange for Chris Archer has been widely and accurately maligned.
Glasnow and Meadows have become All-Star caliber players for the Rays, while Baz, a 2017 first-round pick by the Pirates, is 3-1 with a 3.40 ERA, 61 strikeouts and a 1.245 WHIP for Class-A Bowling Green this year.
It's easy to focus on Glasnow and Meadows in this equation, but Baz — MLB.
