    Everybody hurts sometimes: The latest injuries

    If I were a GM I would be very warry of player opt outs. When do they benefit a team?

    2024 Rotation and Bullpen

    That's decent depth. There's are some # 5 starters in there, maybe a # 4 if some kind of magic happens.

    Let's Lay Off That Throttle

    I'm usually pretty optimistic so don't think I've ever come into a thread with "this".

    Let's Lay Off That Throttle

    I can't really find much information on it but I'm speculating that Jordan Montgomery is a very conservative Southern guy and liberal Boston wasn't really his thing. He is from a small town in South Carolina and so is his wife. Perhaps the Red Sox made a reasonable offer and he chose Arizona...

    Let's Lay Off That Throttle

    This is the worst offseason I can remember. Perhaps the worst since 1986-87. The only silver lining is getting Bailey.

    The Frailty of the Modern Pitcher

    Kenedy saying Breslow is operating under known parameters seems like a subtle way to blame Breslow for a loosing 2024. The guy is being thrown under the bus before the season even begins.

    Yeah, this Bauer guy seems a bit immature.

    Offseason rumors

    MLB starters and their egos are going to hate not having a chance to get the win.

    Offseason rumors

    So basically unless we sign Montgomery our pitching is completely screwed again. Because without him (who will suck up a lot of innings) our starters are going to be pitching more innings than they are capable of. As far as I see it, the only way to keep our starters fresh is a 6 man rotation...
