November 22, 20214 yr So here’s the remaining starting pitchers on MLBTR’s top 50 free agents list: 05) Kevin Gausman: 6/$138M | $23M AAV 07) Robbie Ray: 5/$130M | $26M AAV 09) Max Scherzer: 3/$120M | $40M AAV 11) Marcus Stroman: 5/$110M | $22M AAV 14) Eduardo Rodriguez: 5/$77M | $15.4M AAV 18) Carlos Rodon: 1/$25M 19) Jon Gray: 4/$56M | $14M AAV 22) Anthony DeSclafani: 3/$36M | $12M AAV 23) Justin Verlander: 2/$50M | $25M AAV 26) Alex Wood: 2/$20M+ | $10M+ AAV 27) Steven Matz: 3/$27M | $9M AAV 33) Clayton Kershaw: 1/$20M 34) Yusei Kikuchi: 2/$20M 37) Noah Syndergaard: 1/$21M 39) Alex Cobb: 2/$16M | $8M AAV 40) Zack Greinke: 1/$15M 46) Corey Kluber: 1/$12M 48) Danny Duffy: 1/$10M 50) Andrew Heaney: 1/$8.5M If Matz signs soon, that would be 5 of MLBTR’s top 11 starters off the board and giant chunk of the B / C tier.

November 23, 20214 yr 10 minutes ago, Chicago White Sox said: For us? I mean, yeah. I for one think we actually have a good pitching coach - and Yeah while getting a guy who has been more wild isn’t great - Katz helped make our other wild pitchers effective. And sinker, change, curve, slider is an interesting pitches I think Katz could work with. With the exception of Scherzer and Stroman, two pitchers I have low confidence we’d land, will be difficult to pay for strong, known productivity. So reasonable upside you can escape from seems like next best play.

November 23, 20214 yr I've thought the Giants made sense as a potential Rodon landing spot. But if they land Cobb or Matz then that can probably be ruled out.

A reminder that all reactions are a positive +1 on the reputation scoreboard. For now, the laugh emoji is still there, but if certain sensitive sammies try to start bar fights over it, it will be removed. Contrary to some notions, this was never enabled except to mods. But we are bringing you knowledge of how fire is made, may you use it for only good. I have a feeling that we are going to see much fewer reactions now. Is this change retroactive to all reactions given in the past?

Probably so...but doesn't seem like the greatest idea in the world, unless the plan is to create more animosity between posters. SoxTalk Hunger Games. Or Squid Games, or something like that.

We will see if they circle back to Cueto after January if other options are off the table. Obviously, Gausman has to be the next priority to address.

Perhaps, but not sure how cowardly one must be to be concerned with someone reviewing their reaction, especially on an anonymous message board. People should be all for transparency, and should be able to stand by what they post and also their reactions.
