Lucas Giolito on waivers?

No. Syndergaard hasn't been an quality starting pitcher since 2019. He put up mediocre numbers last season, but nothing that the Orioles don't already have and his fastball velocity is now 92 MPH.

I was a big Syndergaard fan before the injuries, but he just doesn't have it anymore.

Wonder if it’s worth adding a guy like this for the pen?  Anyone that they believe can convert to a short, back end reliever that has more upside/talent than they currently have?

A lot of teams are going to have to weigh long term potential for this one month rental. I expect some of the lower level wild card teams to pick up the quality arms.

If Matt Moore makes it to the Os, they should be all over him... lefty reliever who has pitched in the playoffs.

I'll trust Elias and Sig's judgement, but nothing about Giolito's performance screams must take a look.

The way TEX has behaved overall this year, their recent struggles in the bullpen and outfield....I wouldn't be shocked if the Rangers took several of them.

If they’re worth a waiver claim, they won’t make it far enough for us to claim. That’s the downside of being the 2nd best team in baseball and I can live with that.

Matt Moore has been pretty good the last two years.  I'd certainly take him.  WTH is wrong with that org?

Renaldo Lopez looks intriguing to me:  https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/reynaldo-lopez-625643?stats=statcast-r-pitching-mlb

Lopez would be a good reclamation project but now is not the time.

This happens in the NBA all the time with teams buying out a players contract in order to release them.  The difference is the player automatically becomes a free agent and usually signs with one of the super teams as veteran depth.  I still don’t understand why they got rid of the waiver wire trade deadline that always made it bit more intriguing to see team realize they were out of it and try to pass player through waivers or trade him. I expect some teams just block a lot of players especially pitching.  I doubt anyone gets to us anyway.

Is his arm still attached to his body?

How much does this save the Angel's?

LOL Angels are an absolute dumpster fire.

To be fair, they did not know Trout would go back on the IL, or that Ohtani would be unable to pitch
