Giddey's in-season turnaround has been otherworldly. I have to believe nobody has ever flipped a switch and went from a 54 TS to a 65 at the break. At least from a high usage player. If he's this guy moving forward that is a huge, huge win.
Jed didn't do enough to follow up after that trade. He should have landed more elite talent and not interesting-characteristic guys. Being a bridesmaid for Scott and Bregman was so Jed.
I don't see #2. There's been 4 players to hit 3 HR on opening day. Tuffy Rhodes' accomplishment (and all of them off of Doc Gooden) tops Hendricks SHO pretty easily IMO.
Per Passan, Sasaki's splitter averaged just 518 RPM in his debut and IVB of -4. No splitter in the league compared in either category last year. It's a true unicorn pitch.
Still bitter at Poles for flushing 2024 away by his indifference toward FA in 2022 and 2023. There were building blocks to be had and Caleb could have been better set up for rookie success.
If I am recalling correctly, the last time the Bears were aggressive to add veteran talent on the OL like this was with Tait and Brown, exactly 20 years ago.
