Just adding Mattson now — looks like he’ll be a 0.7. Bradish was about to be updated to 1.1. Still, it looks like a very underwhelming return, I agree.

Bundy had a bit of a bounceback year in 2019 — he was worth 2.5 fWAR. Steamer projects him for 2 WAR in 2020, and he has two years of control. Logically, you’d think he’d have more value.
On the other side of it, the major prospect outlets we follow haven’t gotten around to updating their Angels lists yet, so that might change the value once they do.
Clearly, Elias sees someone in the mix of pitchers he liked. Mattson can strike dudes out, and if he can control his walk rate, he could be a really solid pitcher. Future closer/set-up potential.
But two of those guys, Peek & Brnovich, haven’t even pitched in the minors since being drafted in the 6th and 8th rounds, respectively.
I’ll be curious to see the experts take on this trade.
I had to add cash going back to Baltimore, because Isaac Mattson does not exist on this site. Seems like a very lackluster return for the Orioles.
