I mean realistically they're probably just trying to get him back up to the ~88MPH range on his fastball so it can play well off his changeup again. He was sitting 85-86 the last couple seasons but the changeup is still 80, so there just wasn't enough separation.

But yes absolutely jacked Hendricks throwing over 90 would be a thing of beauty.

Wild Thing blades through the speakers as Hendricks comes out in a leather vest and sunglasses, rears back, and throws 91 mph.

He's specifically agreeing to plead guilty to one charge of lying to authorities, regarding a bunch of illegal sports bets he placed in 2019 on tennis, football, and basketball. So not quite a Rose situation yet unless more allegations come out he was also doing baseball bets while playing.

But yeah his MLB career is absolutely done, if it wasn't already.

It's not even like I expect the league to ban him. It's just that he already couldn't get a big league job, he's in his 30s now and now this is hanging over his head. No team will touch him, the league won't have to do anything

not unless they make at least one or two big moves this offseason and find bats for either SS/2B, both corner OF spots, and possibly DH.

Signing Rizzo in FA is a sign that maybe Crane is calling more of the shots now.

Single-season WAR is basically worthless as a metric. Rizzo had a wRC+ over 130, that’s 6th among all first basemen. No shot that’s only 2 and half wins above a replacement level player lol

And believe me I despise Rizzo
