When the Baltimore Orioles traded Kyle Stowers for Trevor Rogers, it wasn't a great day to be Mike Elias. Then Stowers got off to an incredibly hot start with the Marlins this season, and it seemed like it was downright highway robbery of the Orioles' system. Especially since Rogers opened the season on the IL for the Orioles, not making his 2025 debut until the end of May.
Fast forward to where we currently are, and yes, Stowers looks like a stud. The 27-year-old outfielder had 25 home runs and a wRC+ of 145 in what was his first extended run at the Major League level.
