I'm not super impressed with what you got

Franco is a real life stud. But doesn't look the same in the game.

Getting 5 years of Glasnow (depending on his contract) for a year of Hanniger looks like the steal.

As does an MLB ready Franco for a 18 year old pitcher.

So, I think you won the trade - too much so.

But that version of Franco doesn't look like the by far #1 prospect in baseball
A few things about the trade....

- I went 67-95 in my first year playing OOTP20. Still learning game, if I end up winning this deal in a landslide maybe I will impose trade restrictions on myself in the future.

- Toscano is the 68th ranked MLB prospect.

- Franco is not the #1 overall prospect in this game as he is in real life but he is still pretty good. Won Florida State League MVP at age 19 and was ranked 27th best prospect back in April 2020. Not sure why he fell off the list with those types of stats.

- Glasnow's next 5 years for contract. 4.64m, 6.7, 8.3, 10, 10.

I guess really the main reason I did the deal was to see how good Franco will become. Maybe he pans out into a superstar, maybe not. That's the beauty of this game though.
