Bauer gonna be saved by the lovely market from his dumb rear end "I'll only take 1 year deals" statement cause that's all he's gonna be offered anyways.

So has any team ever won the World Series the year they traded away the 2nd and 3rd place Cy Young finishers before?

Also feels crazy that a franchise as old as Cincinnati has never had a Cy Young winner before now.

Trying to think of great Reds pitchers and no one comes to mind. :shrug: Their best pitcher by BRef WAR is someone named "Noodles Hahn" who played from 1899-1906.

The only teams left without a Cy Young Award winner are Miami, Colorado, and Texas.

If only Jose hadn't decided to joyride his boat while coked up, he might have brought one to the Marlins.

Ubaldo Jimenez came in 3rd in 2010. I don't know if any other Colorado pitchers came that close.

We had an argument over whether or not the Yankees should have traded Cano and Wang for Dontrelle

welp I was dead wrong

e: I think this was right after Cano's rookie year and he had yet to really blow up

Other than the Dodgers, of course.

This doesn't make much sense. If they are going for a D first catcher, Higgy seems fine for that role.

Butt first, let's

I suppose I can see the logic in bringing Yadier to try and mentor/light a fire under the rear end of Sanchez. I don't agree with it, but I think I can follow.

Darvish forgot that his contract included escalators for finishing in 2nd to 5th place in Cy voting in addition to winning it, and got really confused when his agent called him yesterday to congratulate him. As a result he's decided to donate a portion of it to charity.

can't say I'm delighted at the prospect of giving a 2-year deal to a 38-year-old glove-only catcher

I'd much rather we manage to sign Realmuto or swing a trade for Contreras

Okay, I should have just said "have moved on from".

The reason I was asking a question to the original post was because I doubt this has ever happened before, let alone on a team that won the World Series.

Angels hired Braves assistant GM Perry Minasian. Actually came in to the front office a month before Coppy was fired, later promoted by Anthopolous.

Jose Abreu wins AL MVP. To think the White Sox were "this close" to not resigning him this year even at a home town discount. At least every other decision the front office has made has been sound.

Happy for the big lug.

Didn't think it was ever going to work out for him, he always seemed to miss chunks of the season just when he was going really good. Turned out the answer was for everyone else to miss chunks of the season too.
