Autumn Dreamin

Mune arrives tomorrow apparently. Not sure how long until he leaves for WBC prep.

I know he's capable, but it's less than a year out from his TJ (and even if he wasn't rehabbing, it's only early February). But I agree about his arm talent. Looking forward to a productive return for him.

No way that 102 is a reference to his current mph...right?

Skubal wins his case

Feels very on the nose to pay Valdez the highest ever AAV for a LHP (and more than Skubal was asking for) right after Skubal's arb hearing lol

Would like to have been a fly on that wall

Pitchers and catchers report next week

Might have enough of this archetype right now, but he plays all 3 OF spots and slashed .301/.368/.510 in AAA last season (only 153 ABs). 6-32 (1 HR, 2 2B, 5 BB/SO) in brief stint in the majors.

Pretty curious to see how this shakes out

Keller mentioned expanding scouting efforts in Mexico. Nice group of teams to be mentioned with.

Spending their Cash Considerations on Ass Considerations

Mariners kinda fleeced lol

I like the theory that the extra PTNBL owed to the White Sox is insurance for Paez' survival on the 26-man. They could return his Rule 5 rights, but then get him back as a standard minor leaguer.

Not really sure where he plays for them?

Getz confirms Sandlin will get a chance to start

Could be a few months away from Sandlin throwing to Teel with Meidroth in the IF and Braden Montgomery in the OF, fun little alternate reality watch for Boston fans. Paez too, if he sticks. Similar to them having Crochet, Romy, Gio, and Liam over there, but the latter two struggled with health. I still root for Crochet and Romy though.
