    I thought Bader was bringing that one back for sure

    Having a solid year in terms of results. Under the hood metrics aren't great however. If he doesn't hit 140 IP this season, the team has a $14m club option. If he hits 140 IP, it turns into a $19m mutual option.

    Yea if you go Sandy, the hope would be to get the best rental possible (Kelly, etc) to help compete this season. For me, it's the two extra years of control you get with Sandy that is the most appealing (Losing Jamo + Boyd after next season). The Cubs defense + pitching infrastructure seems like an optimal match and you're buying at the lowest point possible. I have other multi year options ahead of him on my wishlist, but I wouldn't complain if he's the multi year fish we land.

    His quote after the game last night - "Physically good ... It's just something mechanical that's going on."

    This is the one if they move him. Come on Jed.

    Misiorowski is a freak, wow.

    2 outs, catcher running, shortish fly ball, I don’t mind him selling out there for a play at the plate.

    Technically, the most likely largest trade has already happened. But yea, 1908 is spot on with this likely being the new norm.

    This has to be a troll at this point right? Right???

    Innings concerns aside, Bubic is my favorite name that’s been mentioned. Royals need OF prospects. Let’s make it work.

    Max Muncy’s knee might be toast, so the Dodgers will most likely be entering the 3b sweepstakes.

    I have Ward and Neto on my dynasty team. Neto is going to be a star. Angels are a fun team on the come up, just desperately need pitching.

    Cade is doing fine. He's not going to come up and immediately be the polished guy we all hope he turns into. Stats - ERA/xERA/FIP/xFIP Justin Steele 2021 9 GS 4.26/4.04/5.52/4.21 Tarik Skubal 2020 7 GS 5.63/4.48/5.75/4.81 2021 29GS 4.34/5.59/5.09/4.06 Cade Horton 2025 4.11/4.21/4.02/3.96

    Just maybe Wheeler, Flaherty, Skubal, Gore, Abbott, and Lodolo are good at what they do.

    Kind of felt that one coming with the 3 uncompetitive breaking balls in a row. Great outing from Ben overall though
  20. KCCub
    Agree with this.

    I was wondering about Giolito. I'm not sure how the Sox view his $14m team option for next year (If under 140 IP). That's fairly cheap and could be an appealing bounce back candidate after he has a full season post TJ surgery under his belt. Could see them wanting to hang onto him because they need all the pitching help they can get. They'll for sure move Buehler if they are selling.
  22. KCCub
    In his largest sample size, 2022 146 IP, he had a 21.4% K%. He’s at 21.6% this season. Last season (recovering from elbow surgery) he only pitched 28 innings, mostly coming out of the pen where he could air it out. He has 2.5 years of cheap control, really good when he pitches, has had 3 elbow surgeries, and probably has some sort of innings limitation this season. I’m interested and scared at the same time.

    Looks like a good day for a Tucker/PCA blast. Maybe Shaw oppo shot??
