I feel like we have plenty of time between now and when these decisions need to be made. Personally, for example, I think we will be #1 in starters ERA and it will be like a situation where Gray gets hurt, Tolle comes in and pitches very well. I think , right now, we have more than 5 very good pitchers.
I think it will feel weird to go out and give the biggest contract in RS history to a pitcher, when the team even without said pitcher, has the best pitching in baseball. That feels off to me.
Right now, I wouldnt give Skubal a 50m contract. I think hes unneeded. I think enough with the freaking pitching. Id rather use the money to extend Duran.
