I thought we nuked the wall for Pitchers to sign here?

I always suspected that a lot of people were going to be disappointed by the results in that area. To be fair, I was expecting Elias to try a little harder to make that come true.

Maybe Mike likes eyesores.

Haiku for hope:

Can’t get Bassitt here

Off season blues beginning

Only Rodon now

I wonder how all these big league pitchers who never had to pitch in the majors without the shift backing them up, new clock, additional runners on base, easier to steal a base etc. are going to pan out. You can look at all the advanced stats you like. But im going to laugh when these teams who threw all this big $ at some of these SPs get burned when they take a year to adjust, if they ever do to the new norm against their career routines. -- I just can't wait to see which of these above average pitchers(that most will be sub-par pitchers under adjusted rules) getting paid can hack it without the CPU nerd upstairs having a defender sitting right in the position their line drive or hard ground ball allowed went, that will be a hit... Perhaps they create new shifts, perhaps not.... we shall see. I for one am glad we're not spending big $ on SPs like this. 

Is this the reason we're not spending big on pitching? no i doubt it but i am for one glad we're not putting ourselves into that scenario and if we're going to trade for SP i'd almost rather wait until the deadline. This is strictly my opinion, likely not a popular one and nothing more.

I think these professional athletes will adjust just fine, just like the guys in the minors have.

There… FTFY

I guess Mike didn't think Bassitt was worth 3/63.

I would think SF is still in on Rodon.  Dodgers of course have money if they want to sign him.  Maybe Red Sox because their rotation is really shaky.

Some report that Yankees are pushing hard to close deal with Rodon.

 

[Just Regular]

Mancano and Mortensen in their Frazier program also gave the take for them it increases certainty Elias will close something with a SP given his post-Gibson Winter Meetings comments that BAL top priority remained SP.

I saw NY Post report Yankees are asking Eovaldi to stand by in case they miss Rodon.    Not impossible BAL somewhere in secondary or tertiary decision trees, or even asking Wacha to stand by in case they miss Eovaldi.     

Rodon bottleneck break could clear last few decent options fast whenever it goes.

You know it’s true because he didn’t say Radon

Not as much as everyone thought

[Just Regular]

Good outcome I think relative to Minnesota triangulating for 6th place in league.      Let's hope he's as unreliable as many here have said!

Conceding HOU-TOR-NYY their spots, Top 2 of TB-BAL-SEA-TEX-LAA finish the field.    Those TEX games before the home opener (Grayson MLB debut?) could be key.    Play October ball in April.

[Frobby]

Of the pitchers I listed in the OP, only Eovaldi, Kluber and Wacha remain.
