I'm guessing it's someone who has really taken to a data-driven approach to pitching and has worked with some cutting edge programs. There is a story about a 38 year old who hasnt pitched in 10 years getting his arm up to 98 MPH through all the new approaches to science based pitching.

Guess their pitching coach/staff sees something the Yankees don't/didn't...or it's all predicated on getting him out of NY and giving him a fresh start and confidence with an extension behind him. You think they would have learned with Homer Bailey, but maybe not.

January 22, 20197 yr Harper to Braves out...as well as Machado to Rangers, unless they are dumping Odor. 3B more logical destination for Cabrera.

January 22, 20197 yr Author 23 minutes ago, Sleepy Harold said: This goes back to the question I just recently asked, but if pure free agents are this cheap, you have to think that this is going to hit trade values for similar players on the trade market. If you can get Markakis for $6 million dollars, or trade for Pederson with an eight figure annual hit, that has to hit his trade value. If nothing else, it makes me thankful that RH and the Sox decided to start their rebuild a couple of years back and not trying to sell right now. An argument could well be made that the Quintana trade was the absolute top of the mountain in trade value with what has happened since then.
