Rafaela has been hot this last week. I knew I would cool him off if I picked him up and started him today in my fantasy league. Yep. 0-4 and strikes out with the bases loaded and no outs. Fantasy Gods strike again, I also picked up and started Giolito today. :(
True. He was coming off a season in which he became the first pitcher to give at 8 earned runs in a start for three different teams in the same season and Breslow deemed him worth 38.5 million. And some doctor passed him and he doesn't make it through spring training.
They knew he couldn't pitch in 2024 so some genius determined that he was worth 40 million for one year! That is front office malpractice and should be a fireable offense.
Lucas Giolito signed a 2 year, $38,500,000 contract with the Boston Red Sox, including $38,500,000 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $19,250,000.
Giolito has given up less runs this inning than in the first. Something for him to build on. Looks like the ball is coming out of his hand really well. Just barely missing his location. Lot of soft contact against him today.
That is this year's team and they suck. Bregman will opt out and go for a longer contract. You think it would be easy to just put Anthony at 1B??? He has never played the position, let alone in the majors.
