Rogers was way more important to this team's 2022 chances than Paddack and Pagan.
Even most of those defending the trade at the time were pointing to the "years of control" rather than actual value. Pagan is a throw in, as is the minor leaguer.
This was all argued at length at the time. For now, I hope surgery proves unnecessary, Paddack recovers quickly, and he pitches well. That'll make the trade less damaging to the 22 Twins.
