1. Of course I agree Sale should get a shot at his old role. 2. I don't have the answer about Eovaldi. It's a medical question. All I know is that he looked great at the end of the season, healthy and pitching at a high level. Can you do that if you're injured? No.
-
Hard to say. He signed him in 2018 to a one-year deal, and traded him to us at the deadline.
-
And he was pitching beautifully this postseason until the 6th inning last night. He seems to be a frequent victim of the 'one bad inning at the wrong time' syndrome in the postseason.
-
$365 million - stop shortchanging him.
-
But Kershaw is always great in the regular season.
-
All of us here can read the numbers on Baseball-Reference just fine. But none of us know what the actual condition of Sale's and Eovaldi's arms are.
-
Kershaw is actually a better case to study if we're really going to get into this debate.
-
All conjecture. As I've said before, Eovaldi's last two extended absences were needed to remove 'loose bodies' which were likely related to the last TJ surgery. I've never heard of this happening to any other player. It could be just bad luck or sloppy surgery? His arm might or might not be perfectly sound now. Same with Sale.
-
With the expansion of playoffs, the samples are getting a little bigger. And it looks like they'll get bigger still...
-
Others have suggested the Red Sox make Sale a reliever for the same reasons.
-
Indeed LOL
-
It's not a terrible idea. But I think if you're paying a guy $17 million you should be trying to get more for your money. And he's an injury risk whether he's starting or relieving.
-
And I disagree with both of you, or at least I'm much more in the middle. I think he made some very good moves, but he wasn't great in the building back department.
-
The absolute cost matters to Henry too, I think. I'm sure he didn't feel great about Castillo's salary just because it was no longer included in the tax numbers.
-
moon's trades were accepted by BTV, so the pluses and minuses evened out...
-
The highly esteemed Baseball Trade Values projects that he will earn 2/3 of his contract.
-
E-Rod should also be entitled to an automatic raise.
-
Admit it, you just like typing 'under water'.
-
My man!
-
But why get a raise for playing worse? Obviously there's an automatic increase factor built into the arbitration calculations. And arguably E-Rod should be entitled to it too.
-
In arbitration, some players get raises even though they played worse than the year before. See: JBJ 2019-2020
-
So the expectation is that E-Rod's salary will be the same as 2020.
-
Not when your pitching is terrible every year.
-
I wasn't denigrating the chowder, I was denigrating your description. -
I don't think you should call chowder a liquid. The solids are an integral component.
