He’s probably a better bet to be decent starter than Fedde. EDIT: Looks like he is guaranteed $6 million, so that’s not bad. What in the holy hell are the Rockies actually trying to accomplish? Be better than Sanzatela? And the aging Sugano as well in COL? Not sure that qualifies yet for Moneyball 2/3.

It's weird how people who regularly castigate the Sox for their record-setting 2024 losses can't understand why bad teams add veterans at the edges to avoid catastrophe.

Castigate lol? You really think Rockies' fans are somehow happy in that Division of Death? Sugano was almost forced back to Japan if not for this offer. They need to let their youngsters like Dollander or Doyle in CF take their lumps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Another reason Sox didn't want Giolito back.... Players Linked To Union Discord Replaced In MLBPA Subcommittee Vote December 5th, 2024 at 10:37am CST • By Darragh McDonald Back in March, disagreements within the Major League Baseball Players Association led to a battle for power within the union that was often framed as a mutiny or a coup. At that time, three active players were connected to the overthrow attempt: Jack Flaherty, Lucas Giolito and Ian Happ. Those three were on the MLBPA eight-player executive subcommittee but none of those three remain after recent voting, per Evan Drellich of The Athletic.

Grok tells me this about opening day roster players remaining in the game two years later: Quote This varies by year (e.g., post-COVID roster stability was higher in some cases; rebuilding teams churn more), position (pitchers often have higher turnover due to injury), and definition (strict Opening Day 26-man vs. early-season active players). For a precise number on a specific year (e.g., 2023 Opening Day players still active in 2025), one could cross-reference Baseball-Reference rosters manually, but league-wide trends consistently point to roughly half (45–60%) still being in MLB two years later.

Don't be sore that trade didn't exactly work out well for either side...do closers get extra points for paying attention to innings 1-7?
