$30M/2yrs with add’l bonuses for 100, 120, and 140 ip plus bonuses for all star, CY, and post season mvp awards to get the total to something like...
I think he got hurt in 2015 then was never the same after that.
I looked this up. Recovery from shoulder capsule tear repair surgery normally ranges from 4 to 6 months with 9 months being the longest...
The SP market will be deep in free agency this offseason. Burnes, Eovaldi, Buehler, Flaherty, Fried, and Snell all represent potential ToR...
Houston is without 2 of their top 4 hitters who comprise ~70% of their total run production. They went up against a guy pitching like a legit ace...

Up-the-middle position player Teenagers in High A since 2006 w/wRC+ >100 (min 10 pa): Carlos Correa Kyle Tucker Kenni Gomez
Whitcomb is not great at 3B and for his first game it’s probably better to take some pressure off of him in the field.
They need guys who take pitches and have a chance to go yard. Also, balancing the lineup helps. But I wouldn’t have any issues if the only...

Yes. Jacob Melton is the highest rated prospect in the system. Kenedy Corona has had a rough year but is a high ceiling prospect. Jacob Amaya...
I’m not sure that’s known, but it’s not that consequential, McCullers’ spot in the pen could be taken by one of the DFA guys (Martinez, Hernandez,...
Not a bad plan. Framber haul ideally would include 1 MLB-ready elite prospect to play 1B/LF/3B (preferably LHH) and 1-2 lower level top 100...
I actually think a 2023 Chas McCormick stat line might be a pretty good 85th percentile outcome for Whitcomb.
There’s a chance Whitcomb could be a really good player. His AAA numbers seem to project him to be better than Loperfido’s did, and like...
My guess is Tucker won’t be back this season. Corresponding move will be to DFA Aledmys or option Leon.
Very excited about him. Penn Murfee started that game and got utterly destroyed.
