Does the team who traded the players or the team who acquired them pick? I assume it's a list they decide on during the trade, then 6 month later one of the teams choose from the list.

Kinda shocked it’s taken this long but maybe it was also based on performance of Hicks? Edited yesterday at 03:50 PM1 day by Bob Sacamano

It's a wonderful website if you want to discuss children's books with obese men in their 30s and dozens of Legend of Zelda themed tattoos. Or incels. Lots and lots of incels. They even have femcels. Those forums are funny and worth reading if you want insight into the lives being led by terminally online zoomers. Which I sometimes do.

There's definitely a later episode where they talk about how that came and went and dont know if theyre getting anything or whatever, but I dont feel like digging around.
16 hours ago16 hr Okay I did go and find another time they talk about it. June 1st. They say they thought it would be done May 1st and then by end of May, but that just came and went. Return was based on Sandlins performance/availability

15 hours ago15 hr Speaking of not sounding concrete, Jordan Hicks has a 6.39/9 walk rate but his xERA on FG is 3.11. He has a .29 HR rate. In 78 batted balls he's had one barrel allowed. He strikes out a little over 1/3 of hitters faced this year.what an insane profile. there's no way he can keep this up, but at the same time thanks for what he's already done.

He's actually generating less called strikes, but more whiffs and fouls. There's been a real change here and that's what's encouraging about how good he's been. Hopefully he keeps it up.

He’s throwing his sinker regularly in triple digits. If he can get sinker movement at that velocity, it makes sense he’d essentially dump the 4 seamer.
