Would be lucky to get 28 games out of him, but he's been pretty great. Can't believe he went back to Bloom and asked him to match TEX's offer, but Bloom passed because they already spent the money on Masa and Kluber. 😭
Will probably have more than Bello's career high of 24 HR at the end of the season.
Just saying he's on the path of a young Bello. If you think that's bad, that's on you. I think Early is just a mid to back end rotation guy.
Wow. Players always look really good when they are on a hot stretch. Too bad for Durbin that his hot stretch still has him under 800 OPS since he traded hitting coaches.
Looks like he doubled his cutter % for his start. The whiff % was strong, but it was typically thrown out of the zone. His sinker was thrown really well and was his main pitch. I wouldn't worry about 5 hits as the defense at AAA isn't as good as at MLB. His sweeper and 4 seamers were used as a chase pitches, and weren't getting swings. Typical Bello start TBH. Good that there were no walks.
1. What did you do to the other 3rd podcast host?
2. Does Kristian Campbell play in BOS before the All Star Game in 2027 (assume lockout isn't terribly long)?
3. Sell or keep Willson Contreras?
4. How do you fix Marcelo Mayer? Play him everyday or send him to AAA?
If Paredes had more than '27 left on his deal, it could be worth it to deal a big arm for him. This season is lost, there's no value to having him this year. One year of Paredes (3 fWAR maybe) vs 6 years of Eyanson? It's not even close IMO.
If they want a bat, they can use Eyanson to get someone better than Paredes IMO.
