If they are going to rush him, at least wait long enough for the extra year of control...

These moves prove he won't. They are hording bad OFs.

Definitely seems like the international side is his specialty. Wonder if he was drawn more by the AGM title or maybe the opportunity to expand his responsibilities/experience beyond that.

Getz already said that’s not the case. And shouldn’t be.

If this is as good as they can do, Braden Montgomery will be the Opening Day starter.

So to reiterate, you can never have enough pitching. Thanks for coming to my ToxTalk.

Bloomberg) -- TikTok’s long-delayed plan to separate from Chinese parent ByteDance Ltd. was put in motion Thursday when the video sharing sensation said it’s being bought by a group of buyers led by Oracle Corp. TikTok Chief Executive Officer Shou Chew told employees that the company and ByteDance signed binding agreements to create a US joint venture majority-owned by American investors, according to an internal memo reviewed by Bloomberg. Chew wrote that he was “pleased to share some great news” and said agreements with Oracle, Silver Lake and MGX have been signed. The deal is expected to close on Jan. 22, 2026, though Chew added that “there’s more work to be done” before then. yahoo finance.com Silver Lake PE also owns approximately 45 minor league baseball teams..... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_Lake_(investment_firm) You can see the full list of their investments here.

Except the Dodgers. And they almost ran out of reliable high-leverage relievers in the post season.

Not with how he performed last year. At least in the $18-20 million range. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2025/12/john-means-suffers-achilles-rupture.html Cross another starting candidate off the list.

Would love it if we brought back Gio. One of the easiest guys to root for. Seems unlikely.

They misspelled "tear", because you cry if you sign them.

Repeat after me: You can never have enough pitching.

Good call, I meant to post about it in the TV thread, but just a vintage Burns show. 5 stars. Highly recommend.

No, I think he's going to get $2/20 or better. Probably $22-25 million at this point.

Yeah, in that list provided, I wouldn’t count some of those names as even “mid-tier”

You think he’s going to get a $17M AAV now or better?

Over $11 million? Carlos Rodriguez messed up, big time.. (Just joshing.) You know when the poorest team payroll-wise in MLB is already bidding $14-16 million he's going to get paid more than that...

Is Marquez even getting a major league deal at this point? He’s been bad and/or injured for 3 years now.

Pipeline has him as a 65FV, which seems kind of absurd. There’s only 2 guys in their top 100 with a 65FV (and nobody higher).

Some of those guys will be way out of their price. German Marquez feels right.

Would still rather watch than Hill. Canadian Charlie Tilson.

JR is probably looking all this money and tax breaks Indiana is offering to move the Bears and saying let's move the Sox to the Region.

it's crazy to think about how recently McKenzie and Manoah were on top of the pitching world

It was really good. Vietnam one is still the best IMO.

Yes.
