Fangraphs take on the Cashner signing.

Loved this bit.
Agree, fair piece. Highly unlikely to make them a contender. Then again, someone has to fill those rotation spots. The $$ spent here isn't blocking any prospect or setting the team back if/when it is time to sell.

From Jason Martinez on Twitter:
Correction: Garcia's deal is 1 yr, $10MM. He gets $8MM in '18 and has a $2MM buyout on a $10MM club option in '19.

Cashner's BABIP is unsustainable, but given that he has not lost velocity, look at his three-year numbers, which include a disappointing 2016. (source: baseball-reference.com). Nothing spectacular, but at the price he signed, no one should be jumping off the ledge. This team needs SP innings.

I don't agree with playing the best nine/ten. At this point, all playing time should be prioritized by:
1. Player development at the major league level.
2. Showcasing players for possible trades, hoping to increase value.
Davis is not blocking anyone. As frustrating as it may seem, there are no 1B players on the farm who don't appear to need more time in the minors.
That said, Davis, with his contract, will never have positive trade value. It is a sunk cost. If a player with potential trade value were to become available via waivers, I would have no problem DFA'ing Davis.
