Zharovsky’s Rookie of the Year-caliber season makes him a potential steal — comparable to Robert Thomas — while Knies delivered a career year for Toronto. Could this deal resurface under new management? The potential is huge, but timing and leadership now make it uncertain. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
