I see what you did there. (Phil "The Vulture" Regan, 14-1 in relief for the '66 Dodgers). ;) -

Verlander being that far underwater helps it make sense how he got through waivers that August. Money and talent on the seesaw - you can kind of see that trade as the Tigers purchasing the prospects for that sum, and Verlander moving in August 2017 sort of the same way Lucas Giolito moved around in August 2023. Except that Verlander is a HoF talent, and to that point in his career hadn't had any of the SIg Mejdal stuff, just his HoF talent. A little of what Elias has to weigh when considering investing talent for contracts that still have forecast surplus value is what other talent might also be available like Reynaldo Lopez last season for simply money. That said, teams ahead of where BAL is likely to be in the waiver order took the strongest players like that last year. -
Side note on Stowers, did someone give him a lifetime supply of Wheaties this year? His sprint speed went from 27.0 fps in 2022 to 28.4 this year. I used to wonder if he'd have the range for left field at OPACY but he's kind of gone crazy with the speed training. He's not the first guy to take a leap on sprint speed so i kind of wonder if the O's are emphasizing this more. -

He's about 1.5 years younger than Dean Kremer, and got his college start with the same San Joaquin Delta Mustangs, but Kremer was a couple years before him there. He is the undisputed minor leagues reliever Wins vulture this decade.
