I'm not talking about trades, I mean "Meh, he's not going to be good" and just releasing him.
I dropped Schwarber in 2021, after having him since he was drafted out of college and nursing him through the Cubs years. He started off hitting under .100 in April 2021, after a .188 2020 and I was like "he's done." As SOON as we finished the draft, he went on a rampage and hit 32 homers.
I didn't drop him, but I traded away a young Mookie Betts, because I thought he was grossly over-rated.
