The Blake Snell trade and why the Rays have been successful making deals like this

Among my favorite baseball listens last spring, before the pandemic shut things down, was Georgia Bulldog games. The SEC team sent out Cole Wilcox and Emerson Hancock to pitch on Fridays and Saturdays, and they were worth a listen. Hancock went to the Mariners in the first round last June, with Wilcox slipping to the Padres in the third round on signing concerns. On Sunday, Wilcox was traded to the Rays for Blake Snell in a five-player deal, and Tampa Bay keeps making sausage.

Sausage-making is a disgusting thing to watch. Nonetheless, it happens, because people like to eat sausage.
