August 1, 20232 yr Love this move. Was a huge fan of him. Shocked Rays couldn’t finish his development. Worth a shot. Haven’t seen him pitch in awhile, but stuff was sick with the Padres

August 1, 20232 yr Worth a shot. Stuff and control have taken a big step back. C'mon core velocity belt!

But OTOH, I laughed at Touki, and he's been great. Sometimes the best organizations in the world can't fix a guy, and then father time does the trick.
August 1, 20232 yr Go Padres' farm system! Rick Hahn will redeem your rep in the end. Also, surprised no Francisco Mejia to corner the catching market after not developing one in decades. (No, Zach Collins doesn't count!)
August 1, 20232 yr The Sox probably shouldn't aquire pitchers with control problems. He does have a good arm. We've never been able to get through to our other guys about throwing strike one though.
August 1, 20232 yr "Patino showed flashes of brilliance during the 2021 season, but his 2022 campaign was derailed by oblique and shoulder injuries so it's unclear how much he would be capable of contributing." https://www.tampabay.com/sports/rays/2023/03/07/rays-luis-patino-tyler-glasnow-shawn-armstrong-curtis-mead-phillies/ Rays’ Luis Patino wants to show everyone who he really is Notes | The right-hander is healthy, throwing hard and determined to bounce back in what he admits is “a big year.” Breaking News: Miguel Cleto named new pitching coach?

We've never been able to get through to our other guys about throwing strike one though. He was acquired for cash and our AAA starting pitchers have neither stuff nor control so this is fine.
August 1, 20232 yr If the stuff is still there this is a tremendous move. These are exactly the type of moves Hahn should be making every year instead of investing tens of million into the bullpen
August 1, 20232 yr Author I heard Patino is going to Charlotte. He's out of options next year and only 23 so there are worse players to stay on the roster. I'd at least give him a shot in the bullpen as the mop up guy in '24.
