He is 30.  Using his age against is pretty far fetched.   Without the “ifs” he was 2.2 fwar last year.   Your boy, Chris Bassitt was 2.7 fwar and turns 34 before next season which makes your argument against Syndergaard look pretty silly.

Chris Bassitt is hardly my boy.  Thats just dumb to say.

I am so if that makes him my boy, I'm signing up! 

I'd go 4-years and worry about the 4th year when we get there if it was needed.

No problem. I’m not against Bassitt.  Just against someone using age to argue against the 30-year old Syndergaard while simultaneously endorsing the soon to be 34-year old Bassitt.

I'm not part of that discussion/argument, but just wanted to put my two cents into signing Bassitt again. lol

I'm also not against Syndergaard for the right price.

I didn’t use age against him other to say that he is coming off a major surgery and saw his stuff diminish and that doesn’t usually get better as you get beyond 30.

Syndergaard is 4 years younger, probably signs for fewer years and lower AAV than Bassitt, was worth 2.2 WAR focusing on CV/SL and 2S but still throws 94.5. Not unreasonable to think he could add a tick to 4S with another year away from TJS and we seem to be good at refining CH and pitch selection. If the 3 yr, $36 M estimate is close to real, I would vote yes.

I’m surprised that so many people are open to Syndergaard while so many people are disappointed by the Gibson signing. Both would be short term solutions and would offer similar results.

Anyways, I hope Syndergaard is off the table now that Gibson was signed.

I assume part of it is name recognition.

I have no problem looking at Syndergaard as a possible secondary move for our pitching staff.  I’d be disappointed if he was our biggest pitching signing of the offseason.   

Now that Gibson is signed, I don’t really want a Syndergaard signing.  We should be aiming higher.

Syndergaard is better than Gibson and also has more upside. They would fit nicely as 4/5 in the rotation but they cannot be the best 2 signed.

I think it's likely that Gibson will give comparable production to Syndergaard at a fraction of the price.  Syndergaard is a shadow of what he was before injuries.

    • I think there is a better term than "angry" to describe some of the O's. Anger seldom results in anything positive. Now, playing with attitude is another thing. GH is certainly the "King" of attitude on this team, no one is going to beat him. I believe there are several position players that show attitude in different ways. Pitchers?? SP throw 90 or so pitches. They can't afford to display emotions or they would be worn out much earlier. They also can't afford to have the "deer in the headlights" look. Of the O's starters, I believe CP is in that world at present. It's mainly an experience and growth thing.  GR, IMO, has approved significantly in that department over the last year. 
    • On close examination of Kjerstad today (July 7), I hope he is not part of any trade package. This kid is a bull, with power potential that is off the charts.  He runs surprisingly well and that throw to the plate from left was very impressive, if a bit high. I can see him planted in left field for a long time, perhaps in a platoon with Hays the rest of the year, but eventually full time if he proves able to hit southpaws.
    • I like this idea better, but I am curious to what it would take to secure Mason Miller.
    • I totally get it.  It’s a huge risk vs. reward situation, but getting someone like him (if he’s still strong) or Skubal could make a major difference come October for you guys over the next three seasons.
    • IMHO it's not about whether Crochet is an "opener" or a reliever, it's the innings.  He's never thrown more than 65 innings (at college in 2019) in his entire college or pro career and stands at 105.1 today.  Let that sink in.  On top of that, there is Crochet's TJ surgery, where he missed all of 2022 and had multiple stints on the IL in 2023 as he was recovering, tossing a total of 25 IP. Does any of this mean he cannot throw double (130 IP) or triple (195 IP) his prior max?  No one can say for certain, but I'd think any reasonable person would agree that, at the very least, it's a far riskier proposition for someone like Crochet than a pitcher who has been a starter and has thrown 150+ IP before.  So, to recap: The most innings he's ever thrown was 65 IP in college (2019) After throwing 54 innings of relief for the White Sox in 2021, he missed all of 2022 with Tommy John surgery He followed up in 2023 by throwing a total of 25 innings of relief, as he dealt with a couple of IL stints recovering from TJ His first ever pro start came this season and he's been dynamite through 105.1 IP Elias and Sig are well aware of the risks and it will be interesting to see how it all shakes out.
    • Gunnar doing a good job of hitting the ball to all fields.
    • Tell me the cost and I would probably sign up. What about you Qauntrill, Scherzer and Yates and you got to keep all top 4 prospects?
