I dont know a whole lot about these players, but what am I missing?
IKF and Rortvedt are really bad hitters.
IKF is 2021 Gardner level offense (slightly worse).
Rortvedt, while he's only 21 with a small sample size, makes the 2021 Gardner, Frazier, Wade, Oror, Andujar, Torres, Gio, etc look like Mike Trout. His OPS+ was 41. 41! The difference between Gardner and Rotvedt is like the difference between Gardner and Judge. That's not a hyperbole. They're about 50 OPS+ points apart. I dont expect him to hit that poorly, but nothing about his minor league stats make you think he will have any offense either.
And they added $14M of payroll in all of this?
