  1. For a rookie, I think it makes more sense for continuity to start off.
  2. Another failed SP'er signing... Martin Perez I & II Garret Richards Corey Kluber James Paxton (Sandoval?) It looked like Gio was going to be, too. He still cost us $38.5M for 1 season.
  3. I think going with the more experienced Wong with Tolle, is a good idea.
  4. Keller is a decent #3 SP'er making decent money. Reynolds is grossly overpaid for like 5 more years, but he's better than Masa.
  5. That's why Brez has to remove Yoshida from the 26.
  6. Yoshida and Campbell + Mullins for Keller & Reynolds and some cash.
  7. Brez has to do the dirty work for Cora and keep Yoshida off the 26. I'd clear his spot off the 40, this winter, no matter what the sunken cost is.
  8. I'm not as high on SEA pitchers, anymore. 1. Ryan 2. Keller (not because he's 2nd best, but he's paid a lot and PIT probably wants to deal him.)
  9. He might have started to with that big dinger.
  10. Also, Jh Garcia demoted and Sogard promoted.
  11. Next up... (this winter) ... Yoshida.
  12. Wow! I mentioned this as a possibility, but figured we'd send Bernardino down for 3 days, instead.
  13. They used to be the number one source. It's so bad, now, they should just give up and shut down, or do a major revamp.
  14. It's a pandemic!
  15. There does not appear to be as much money to spend as many seem to think there is. While we have very few expensive arbs, the extensions kicking in are costly. $3.8M> $28.2 Crochet $457K> $16.3M Anthony That's over $40M. We also added Hicks ($10.3) and Lowe (last arb $10-12M) We can nontender Lowe, but we are stuck with the Hicks contract. Then, Duran: $3.75M>$8M or 3rd arb. Now, Bregman and Chapman need to return or be replaced, in kind- likely at more money. Maybe add $10M AAV for those two, combined. We might be at $60M on just these guys, before we even look at signing anybody. Losing: $21.1 Buehler $19.3 Giolito $5M Hendriks $2.3 Wilson $2.1 Refsnyder That's not $60M.
  16. Assuming no Gio, Buehler & D May, our SP'er depth chart for 2026 might look like this: Crochet Bello Sandoval Tolle Crawford Dobbins Fitts Harrison Criswell Early, Perales, Sandlin, Uberstine, Mullins (No Houck until 2027) On paper, this is not as good as the top 12-13 depth chart we had, last fall/winter.
  17. I was surprised and pleased at the depth Brez put together for our 2025 rotation. IMO, it went at least 12 deep, but that included Sandoval who was due back in August, and we all know how those deals work out for the Sox. Crochet, Houck, Giolito, Bello, Buehler, Crawford Newcomb, Fitts, Priester, Criswell, Dobbins, Wink/Whitlock We traded Priester, then traded for Harrison. We traded newcomb, then traded for D May. We just called up Tolle, who wasn't even listed in the top 12 to 13 on the winter depth chart. Now, looking forward: No Houck, Buehler, DMay and Giolito (assuming to mutual option trigger.) We added Tolle and maybe Early, Perales, Sandlin and someone else. Crawford, Sandoval, Dobbins, Fitts, Criswell and Wink are all hurt. One could argue we need two #2s and 2-3 more depth arms.
  18. MIN can demand all they want, but I doubt many teams can top our Anthony and Tolleless offer. I'm thinking: Campbell, Clarke, Sandlin & Mullins is not enough. Maybe Campbell, Clarke, Early & Romero/Sandlin. This should get it done: Abreu, Clarke or Early and Sandlin or Mullins/Romero. We could then trade Campbell & Mullins for Keller & cash. Bring Bregman & Chapman back. Let Buehler, Gio and Wilson walk, and sign Alonso.
  19. Cots shows Joe Ryan with Arb 3 in 2028... https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1QXhMYkMxJE1VJvZiNMS1X7OHPFNaIVUjd-m1ZBCzHL4/edit?gid=1520401900#gid=1520401900 But a few other sources do say 2 years.
  20. Trading for Ryan, instead of paying $30M/yr for a solid SP'er might allow us to sign a guy like Alonso.
  21. Ryan has 3 arbs, left, and that is why I want him, but still no Tolle for him. I'd like Campbell, Clarke and Sandlin, but they will want Abreu and maybe Valera or Witherspoon.
