Luis Severino had a 3.02 ERA when on the road, meaning he should be better when in a true MLB park for the Braves, who desperately need starter(s). This is also a minor salary dump for the Athletics. Athletics recive former all-star (perhaps with some untapped potential) Bryce Elder, as well as a flyer prospect in Mario Baez
Down vote for the A's. They had to overpay to sign Severino, they'd have to massively overpay to sign someone better. I don't think Elder has untapped potential... he's just a cheap innings eater. The A's want to win more games in '26 and Severino gives them a better chance than Elder to do so.
