Am I missing something about Jordan Lyles???

I was doing a bit of stat browsing and can’t believe how bad Jordan Lyles has been every year of his career and is still getting paid big bucks. He is playing his 12th season in the pros and his career numbers are horrible, they look like this:

57-83 W-L, 5.17 ERA, 1.44 Whip and has a career war of -2.5 (baseball reference)

He is playing for his 7th different team.

He has only 1 winning season in his career.

He has made over $34 million in his career and is currently making $6 million this year with the Orioles.

So why are teams consistently paying this guy to pitch on their teams. Don’t teams have a better and cheaper option on their triple A team.

So are teams really this stupid or am I missing something?
