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.

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.

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.

We have been the more consistent team. Numbers wise, we are better then Tampa and our success is probably more sustainability. Our X W/L is slightly better then Tampa.
