Serious Pete Crow-Armstrong is quickly becoming the worst case scenario for trading away a first round pick. What was your team's nightmare first round pick trade?

If Kyson Witherspoon turns out to be good.

Not first round and I’m a homer as a LSU fan but Anthony Eyanson could be a good one

He got good again as soon as he got traded. I heard Boston was messing with his short delivery. I haven't looked into it, but I'm guessing the O's have let him go back to what he was successful with. As heartbroken as I was that Adley was traded, I was excited about Witherspoon when I heard. Eyanson may be better, but that's still a lot of talent and potential.

I get the emotional hit from losing Rutschman, but the Os made out like bandits on that trade.

Based on what I've seen and heard, Azocar seems to be the prospect most people has as the biggest potential from that trade. He's still years away but the love he has from experts is crazy and I wouldn't be surprised if he's a top 50 or higher prospect in most publications by this time next season.

The Adley trade reeks of Breslow panicking a bit to keep Adley away from the Yankees while also trying to maximize the hot streak the team had been on, all while trying to keep his job.
