Orioles interested in Syndergaard?

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.

You weren’t in favor of signing him to a 3 year deal?

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.

At this point, with Gibson in house I pass on Thor.  Rodon/Bassitt/Eovaldi or bust.  Want to give Kremer/Bradish/GRod innings.

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.

So...bust then

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.

We’re not signing three.

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.
