The morosi kiss of death (though not a shocker of Giants retain)

Ah, thank you! It’s because I always want to write Carlos Carrasco, know that’s wrong, and can’t find the real name.

Rosenthal had a thing on him for Seattle today.

The reason why I continue to think there will be no real issue trading him comes down to one thing: shitty white sox Craig Kimbrel was still striking out 40% of his batters, and teams are going to look at that and think something sox were doing was too predictable to create hard contact like he had.

Oh I’m with you, it’s just been my running fascination this offseason with player preferences and hearing how big of a deal Florida ST is, but never hearing same about AZ.

Many people are saying this

That’s my purse!

Just canceled family Christmas decorating with the kids and told them to go to their rooms for the night. Al geared up and ready for take duty.

I think sox are learning more how to make heavy break pitchers like him more successful. I am actually very excited for how he can help. Maybe he’ll be like that 2008 swing man we all loved so much that I forgot his name

Don’t k ow career off-hand but I’d be shocked. Last year he was incredible vs RHP, like 150+ wRC+ vs righties when I looked it up

So anyway last year Gray ditched his sinker, and his bad slider actually worked well. I think his curve could be something if Katz can build trust in it. DRA actually liked him last year and he faded hard on Aug/Sept. maybe he’s built out now.

Not with 2021 data! It’s a remix!

Though he feels like a Ranger signing

I’d suggest we start deep diving into Jon Gray.

Remarkable lack of reported market so far on Stroman. He was very good last year, still just too weird a profile?

Nice to be a Mets fan and have every sneeze reported on

Nothing interesting in Rosenthal latest except Mets want to spend over $300M on a 3rd place team.

Except Corbin was awesome in 2019, won a WS game and 2020 was fine in a shortened year.

No I’m sorry my opinions aren’t teenage AIM away messages

What is this quote?

Gonna go on a limb and say Washington does not regret signing Corbin.

I don’t really know because I am not the white Sox. But I would say there is a different market here for a gap hitting second baseman whose overall body of work is disappointing and relief pitcher, when there are 5 per team. Frazier just happens to complement some of the Sox very specific areas to address. It doesn’t make them imbeciles, it’s not clear he’ll be particularly better than Cesar Hernandez next year overall.

Trying to figure out this annual sniping that a top pitching free agent is just a pop up flavor of the month with the fact that those pitchers continue to be good acquisitions ?‍♂️

Is it because other teams aren’t trying to balance a ground all heavy, RH heavy lineup in the same way the Sox are and different teams have different needs?

Dabearsblog had a thing about Harbaugh and Ireland coming as a tag team. I was shocked when Harbaugh was out in San Fran, but his lukewarm tenure in college made me fade. Well, guess he’s back. Jeff Ireland though. Man I know he has an eye as a scout, but his baggage from Miami seems like a terrible idea to bring here. He definitely did work in NO bringing in talent thru the draft.
