Bob Sacamano

I still think it would have been easier to do that in the minors to open the year (shorter starts, easier to skip, gain another year of control). I agree with with s2k5 for thinking they’re pumping him up for a trade and don’t really care about how this would effect him later.

I don’t think it’s just the jump from one season. Crochet’s overall body of work in college through his last 6 season was very minimal.

They might just be piggybacking off Bob.

I’m in the boat that is fine extending him, but more of the team-friendly variety. Idk if I’d gamble $25M+ a year on his health. And knowing Jerry, he won’t either.

“We ain’t taking that!” as Pham took that to the IL. Oof

We have a .667 winning percentage against the Braves. They’re also worse than us.

They still have a worse record than the Rockies guys.

Let’s do better than Vaughn for a future lineup.

Didn’t even realize he was hurt

Yeah, there were at least 3 guys in that deal that were likely going to be non-tendered the next day if not traded (Soroka, Shewmake, Nicky).

For that O’s package, I would drive Garrett to Baltimore.

Yes he was apparently.

Kinda wild to say we’ve been shut out 33 of the last 35 innings and didn’t lose all those games.

Come on Chris, just 2 more.

Yep, I've been saying you might as well throw in the money owed to him for the buyout as well just to get some interest back. But how will we ever replace Eloy?!

My God I thought for sure Eloy was going to be safe at first.

Trade value!

So Jac Caglianone is at the game today.

Gettin close

BOOM!

Maybe they can plan around it to get him some rest. Make his last start July 9th, let him pitch an inning (or 2) in the ASG July 11th, and then let him make his first start after on July 23rd. Basically 2 weeks off without putting him on IL.

Got it at 7.5 on Underdog.

Trade value!

Agreed. Can't see that O's one happening unless more is added going to the O's.

That feels like a lot for the O's to give up for Crochet, with his injury history and 2 years of control. They would get him for a half season more than if they traded for Cease in the off-season, but also may be facing an innings limit with Garrett this year. Maybe if you added a reliever or included Fedde as well (how many pitchers do they need)?
