I agree. They will trade him for almost sure.
-
I would stay away from Joe Ryan.
-
Good for them.
-
100%. Jed will never (maybe, not never😁) sign a RP with the high price tag. Besides, RP isn't that high of a priority. I have a feeling Morejon may not be that good next year, after pitching like 90 innings this year.
-
They at least won one, which is basically all I asked.
-
100%. He broke the MLB record for the most consecutive scoreless innings by a RP in a single postseason.
-
My wild guess, Braves, Angels and White Sox. I guess Padres could be it, if they can't keep King.
-
If that's the case, I don't want him.
-
Yeah, they should have a little over $85M space under CBT threshold. Does anybody think Peralta will need to sign a "prove it" deal? Rays didn't really fix him. They fixed only the four seam velo. His K% is still low, and xFIP high. I'm hoping we can get him with that kind of contract. I don't think Jed will commit for 5yrs.
-
Gasser in the postseason: 0.60 ERA with 4.51 xFIP in 15 innings.😂
-
Nuts.
-
Pretty crazy. They're pretty much unbeatable.
-
Only guy I could tell right away was player A.
-
Although I disagree with staying far away from Peralta, I agree with most of what you said. Personally, I don't want Gausman (and Boyd, I know you didn't mention him), but Taira, then Gray or Holmes and Peterson sound good.
-
Yeah, I agree. Also, I think one of the SP's from Mariners would be a lot more realistic than Detmers.
-
Are the Angels going to trade Detmers? IMO, they are in the best situation right now. They got the new owner who is willing to spend. They have only two guaranteed contracts (Trout and Kikuchi), and have almost $130M space before hitting the tax threshold. They can keep Detmers. They can sign all of these guys this winter, like Sukubal, Seiya, Morejon and King (or Peralta or whoever) without hitting the threshold. I'm not saying they'll do all that, but they could. Just because Detmers' value is high at the moment, would they trade him? I don't know, but I doubt it. Do I want Detmers? Sure, he could be one of the best we could get (or not😁 )
-
Very cool. It was also nice to see Bellinger there.
-
You wanna add one more thing? People always complain about the Shota's HR issue. Cabrera is just as bad. If you don't include the inside the park HR, which wasn't Shota's fault, Cabrera has higher HR/9 than Shota. At least, he was better than Gausman (as a cub). I haven't given up on him completely yet, though.
-
I thought Brewers were stupid, when they didn't trade for Skubal at the deadline. Now, I started thinking they might be smart.
-
Guess they just won't lose?
-
Who said Brewers don't hit HR's?😁
-
Yeah, Uribe is looking awful.
-
I will miss him for sure. He was (I should say "is") one of my favorites. Hopefully, he won't pitch for a team I hate.😀
-
Because of the poor performance by Imai?
-
I think Skubal will sign before the lockout. Taira should be a good fit for the Cubs. GB% is pretty high, and he gave up only 5 HR's in 200 innings (yeah, I know they're in a dead ball era, but still pretty good). He'll be 27 soon, and I'm thinking he would take a 4 years deal. I'm not interested in the other Japanese pitcher, though he'll be a lot cheaper.
