I think a GM would be ecstatic to trade for the next Nolan Ryan. Kevin Gausman gets $21-23 Million a year based on one passable season out of 10.
Nolan would only have to go 5 or 6 innings a game. He'd be able to throw even harder, and snap that curveball even sharper then he already did.
Modern coaching would likely be able to shave the walk rate he was cursed with the 1st half of his career, down a bit in the process to.
Yeah, Maddux was better...but that's a pretty high bar.
