December 19, 20241 yr And most thought the $3M the Sox paid him last season was an overpay. Clearly, there is a supply and demand issue on the pitching side of things.
December 19, 20241 yr If he sucks as a starter, they can at least stick him back in the pen where he had success in 2024.
December 19, 20241 yr Good risk by Washington. I think Bannister helped him find something with the 4 seam.

It’s a bummer Bannister didn’t have more time to work with him because it seems he definitely found something. Unfortunately, it was just a little too late otherwise the Sox could have flipped Soroka for an interesting lower level prospect at last season’s TDL.
December 19, 20241 yr More expensive than Fedde...White Sox will never compete under JR with their fear of long-term starting pitching contracts. Along with Witt Jr., it's the main reason the Royals became competitive again. But it seems they're now tapping out around the $120 million payroll level.
December 19, 20241 yr He's still got a little bit of potential, I think. I wouldn't have paid him that much though. I'm surprised, good for him. Aren't the Nats notoriously bad at developing pitchers? Edited December 19, 20241 yr by nrockway

December 19, 20241 yr The guy went 0-10 with a 4.74 ERA and an even higher FIP, and triples his salary. I wish I was younger and a better baseball player.

She can kind of play fetch, too, so she can even shag one fly ball per day in the outfield on occasion. Works about as hard as (pick your favorite “Rebuild 1.0” whipping boy).
