Squirmin' for Yermin

Quit it with your thoughts, pal.

Wouldn't you agree he's our highest ceiling starting pitcher? There's reasons people don't want to trade him despite the bumps.

I agree hes such a great fit. But for Burnes I'm happy with it. I realllllly don't want to trade Kelley. He screams young stud to me.

I believe Sox fans have underrated him too.

That team could quite literally win 75 games next year. lol

someone tell them "ew"

Angels maybe out? Blue Jays just spent a ton on Bauer, likely out... Who is even in?

Yeah, this was the most interesting things last night since we have heard we have 8 available.. And Q seemed like the best fit.. hmmm

What did he say? I tried following last night but may have missed it.

Paddack would take Madrigal + Heuer for sure.. I'd much rather have him than other names mentioned (Gray, Gonzalez)

Trade for David Price, they take on a lot of money.

I forgot he existed.. Did he opt out?

Wow, I hate the trade for the Padres. This seems STEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP

I would say there are vastly different levels of risks between the rest of the guys and Richards right? Richards could literally pitch 30 innings and i'd imagine his over/under for innings in Vegas would be close to 60 or so.

This is why I'd have him at #9 or even lower.

I think. Paxton does have worse injury history and a lower ceiling though. But yes, he's Kluber-lite this offseason. I'd be happy

Yeah, I'd be content with a lot of guys. Id probably have him behind these

1. Bauer (obviously) 2. Quintana (reliable) 3. Paxton (ceiling) 4. Jake Odorizzi 4. Tanaka (reliable) 5. Walker (young/ceiling) 6. Cole Hamels 7. Rich Hill 8. Garrett Richards

Tatis and Machado, yes. Plus they're in the same spot as us so it is indeed fun to compare the two.

fun fact: Rich Hill pitches more innings than Garret Richards

Give me Rich Hill for a 1/3 of the cost of Richards. Quintana would be my #1 though. Richards #million

This didn't convince me one bit. Because Kopech won't pitch until July if lucky. And I don't want to count on both being good right away. Also.. this doesn't mention his likelihood of being hurt,

Usually I can be warmed up into any signing.. But so far no one has convinced me on Richards. Sure, he has some potential still. But it also is clear he hasn't pitched more than 70ish innings since 2015.. That's 5 years ago. This appears to be a trend more than a fluke.. This is the opposite guy we need as our filler. We need someone to take innings.

yes

Don't you think he'd want to unofficially agree so that he can play in their leagues and training sites?
