  1. And if they don't trade Casas we're going to be stuck with bad defense at 1B and 3B for another season. Holding onto Yoshida any longer feels like postponing the inevitable.
  2. Right, and that's why Breslow should be commended for doing something bold here. I think he gets it.
  3. Plus if Pitt intends to continue as a viable baseball franchise, they shouldn't be trading Skenes at all, needless to say.
  4. Extend him right away or wait until he proves himself a little more? It's a classic baseball economic dilemma.
  5. And Skenes would empty the cupboard. Let's back to some free agent pitcher talk here!
  6. We have 3 left-handed DH types in Devers, Casas and Yoshida. It's not ideal. This was one of the dumbest signings ever.
  7. desperate larry! Sorry, Larry, but sometimes you reap what you sow, man. 😉
  8. Not sure we ever found out who San Diego was bidding against there. We know it wasn't the Red Sox.
  9. D is probably the closest. I would guess they went into it with a predetermined limit which appears to have been around $700.
  10. As I said earlier, in September Crochet pitched 17.1 innings, Kd 29 and walked 2. That's some dealin', folks.
  11. He's a special case though. The way I read it, the biggest possible money difference between any two teams trying to sign him is $2.4 million.
  12. It's not going to be a lot of money in any case. The consensus is he'll sign where he wants to play.
  13. He pitched 146 innings. I expect they'll bump it to 160-170. I really think Andrew Bailey can handle this. The stuff chart Brock posted is kind of the clincher here.
  14. C'mon guys, the 4 inning starts were because White Sox were micro-managing his innings the second half. Give them some credit for trying to do the right thing. As moon keeps pointing out, 65 was his previous high. This ain't rocket surgery.
  15. moon, I get the CERA thing, but consider this. I'm posting this before I even re-check the numbers. I'll come back and add them. Numbers are regular season only. 1) Houck and Whitlock have their best CERAs with him. Houck 99 IP 1.64 ERA .528 OPSa Whitlock 116.1 IP 2.40 ERA .623 OPSa 2) The guy he caught in Houston had a great CERA with him. Cristian Javier 34.1 IP 1.31 ERA .388 OPSa 3) Maybe he works really well with certain pitchers. The sample size of pitchers you're using for his CERA comparisons is actually pretty small.
  16. In Logan Gilbert, George Kirby and Bryce Miller, the M's have a nice trio of reversible All-American-sounding names: Gilbert Logan Kirby George Miller Bryce
  17. In September/24 Crochet only pitched 17.1 innings, but he had 29 Ks and only 2 walks!
  18. No, they were just micro-managing his innings. He had a couple of rough outings that made his second-half ERA look like crap. When you take a closer look at it I don't think it's that concerning. He was still registering high K numbers.
  19. Well, to me it's a hopeful sign that they're actually trying to improve the 2025 team. YMMV.
  20. The perspective has changed with the trade for Crochet.
  21. Like everyone is saying, pitching is incredibly expensive, so I'm not shocked at the return. They did finally make a bold move so I'm not going to complain about this.
  22. Last 3 years: Eovaldi 6.1 fWAR Pivetta 5.4 fWAR Last 4: Eovaldi 11.8 Pivatta 7.7
  23. Sometimes we overlook that Henry "only" owns about 40% of FSG. As I read somewhere else, some teams are run by owners, the Red Sox are now run by a group of shareholders.
