In incremental terms, all they offered was 1 year @ $30 mill.
-
I also agree with Kimmi's point that if Quality Start doesn't work for you, just go with Game Score. It's much less arbitrary.
-
JBJ has a 1.375 OPS in his last 2 games! -
5GG likes his wordplay.

Personally I have no problem with 6 and 3 being a Quality Start. It's the 6 innings part that matters most. I get the 4.50 ERA argument. You're going to have to establish an arbitrary baseline somewhere. When you give 6 and 3 you're presumably turning the game over to your best relievers, who should arguably only give up 1 run in 3 innings. And then there's the High Quality Start, which I believe is 7 and 2.
-
But Game Score rewards volume of innings, correct?
-
David Price looked like pure quality when we signed him too. He helped win a title but has mostly been in the baggage department. And Sale is a great pitcher who they obviously thought would not be spending so little time on the field. We (the royal we) can find examples to support any position.
-
I guarantee that was supposed to be 5 and 2.
-
But a big part of the idea of the Quality Start was giving some length, not overly taxing the pen, and not giving the other team a shot at your middle relievers, which at one time was the 'dregs' of the bullpen. 3 & 0 obviously doesn't fit that bill. However, as the game changes to a total staff game, 3 & 0 does become more valuable.
-
Pivetta is without quality today.
-
You have to draw the line somewhere. Or, we can just have "Quality Outing" that applies to all pitchers, but that might be overkill.
-
Too radical.
-
There have been some players who do like staying put. Wakefield and Ortiz come to mind. They kept taking short deals and not testing free agency.
-
5 and 2 is clearly the new QS.

SPLINTER is usually very reliable. But the clock is indeed ticking. -
Also to be noted is that Xander has a swing made for Fenway. Career: Home .870 Road .754
-
I'd offer Eovaldi 3 @ $20, but he would laugh at it. Gausman got 5 @ $22.
-
Also a good chance that if he gets 8 @ $30, the second half is an albatross.
-
There's been talk, but it's nothing promising. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/04/eovaldi-wont-discuss-extension-during-season.html
-
That's how it's presently defined. They may have to revise it to 5 innings and 2 runs.
-
Sure, but the thing is, he got 7 years compared to Story's 6, and Story is 2 years younger.
-
The deals those guys got make Story's deal look pretty darn good. It's almost like Bloom is being smart or something.
-
I have no problem at all with your opinions. I'm just pointing out that Henry has not yet given out a contract higher than Price's 217 mill.
-
It's possible that Story + Wacha yield as much value as Mookie this year. We shall see! Then there's the 5 additional years at 30.5 AAV part.
-
No, I don't think we do know that. As I think you've noted, the biggest contracts he's ever given out pale beside some of the ones now being handed out by other owners.
