Morton though Charlie had a bad year by traditional stats but it's such a small sample size and he got unlucky (4.74 ERA vs 3.45 FIP) and still had a 9.9 K/9 with a K/BB ratio that was basically identical to 2019 when he finished third for Cy Young Look at how Charlie sat the Astros the gently caress down in game 7 of the ALCS

STAC Goat posted:I did not know this and it amused me very much. At the press conference where Cora announced he was stepping down, Sox ownership fell over each other praising him. I don't doubt for a moment that Henry, Kennedy and the other owners want him back, and the fact that they haven't hired him already says that Bloom really is getting to hire "his" guy.

glad to see the Mets toxic ownership about to be replaced by a hopefully-not-quite-as-toxic one all of our FAs are gone with the possible exception of Stroman I think they'll buy Ramos out for $1.5M rather than giving him $10M for his age-34 season, and I assume Betances is going to invoke his player option for $6.8M rather than test the market we really, really need pitching so I'd expect Cohen to make a strong effort towards retaining Stroman and probably also go after a high-upside FA like Walker or Paxton (please not Bauer though)

Bauer has had one full season with an ERA under 4 and is a big enough rear end in a top hat that he has been traded in part because of it more than once. He also has all these crazy ideas about starting every game on one less day of rest and doing a one year contract every year. Just absolutely loaded with red flags.

Orioles claim Yolmer Sanchez off the White Sox, glove first second baseman from what it appears? Hope this doesn't lead to them doing something really loving stupid like not picking up Iglesias' option, considering it's like 3M and we don't really have anyone in the wings for SS. E: What it does hopefully mean is banishing Andrew Velazquez off to the great DFA in the sky because good lord his bat was a black hole.

Julio Cruz posted:deGrom was better than Bauer in every way that's not based on a .215 BABIP Yeah I think this is a fine point. So he was the 2nd best pitcher in the league. He's still a guy you should want on your team. Especially on a 1 year deal. It's a no brainer.

Just cause you need to find reasons to make it ok to cheer for the evil Yankees doesn't mean we all want to find similar ones for our own teams. My favorite player growing up was Carlos Delgado and since then is Jose Bautista. Neither is a chud and are genuinely good people that do good things but keep pretending who you cheer for doesn't matter.

bawfuls posted:There were some pretty strong signals that he was clubhouse cancer in Cleveland, based on what people said when he left. I mean, didn't Bauer himself tell a story about how nobody liked him on one team so he went up to everybody in the clubhouse and asked them to their face why they didn't like him and his main takeaway was that he was just too smart and they were all jealous? There's nothing about him that doesn't seem insufferable. EDIT: From his SI profile "I don’t know if I’m not afraid of sticking middle fingers in people’s faces, or if I enjoy it. But I end up doing that a lot." EDIT2: I mean I'm not gonna root against him or switch teams if he was on the Yankees (Cole existing should preclude this from even being an issue) but it's like how I need to root for Chapman to get saves: It sucks.

That's not even the worse candidate they're considering: https://twitter.com/jonmorosi/status/1322024806821355522 If you're not aware McLeod is the guy who ran the pitching side of our farm into the ground for almost a decade, before being shunted sideways into a do nothing advisor position for somebody who (hopefully) actually knows how to draft and develop pitching.
