I don’t think Singer is good enough for what we need.

To each their own…but completely disagree.

I’d be more worried about just stabilizing the staff and not throwing out a SP that hurts the team every 5th day. I’ve got bad news for you if you think this team is acquiring someone that makes them a real contender.

I think it’s important to reinforce the team enough to get to the playoffs to get the kids some experience, but making a big move to try and rush the WS window would be pretty dumb imo.

Remember when we were saying that about Kimbrel and Hendriks?

Most variable position in the sport and one dependent on the two other legs of a good team (SP and offense) is not one you really want to go all in on usually.

It’s weird you don’t think we’re a “real contender” when we have the third best run differential in the AL and literally one less than the 2nd best team. Even if we want to go the cheaper route, we need to strive better than a guy with a 5+ FIP and whose velocity continues to trend down. I’d just give Mason Adams a look if that’s the best we can do.

This! We are the second best team In the AL.

I will always remember Hendriks saying he could be the any inning guy, knowing that Kimbrel needed the closer routine.

Then TLR promptly not doing that.

Tampa and New York record wise.

Would probably put Boston better than them at this point as well.

There was so much bad juju around that time here. Was Liam probably sick and didn't have the diagnosis yet? I was sitting on a beach in N. MI when that trade went down, I remember posting here I believe that it was a wild ass swing but I was ready to move on from Madrigal, turned out nobody really won that one.
