Bregor posted:Mikolas has had a pretty good run too. Sometimes guys just figure it out. Honestly $5 million AAV for any arm that could possibly give you 100+ decent innings seems like a good gamble to take. IP is such a wildly undervalued stat, just being there to pick up the ball and absorb whatever is so useful

The problem is that Fedde has never been able to pitch beyond the 5th cause he stinks like real bad.

 BIG FREE AGENT SIGNING Wade Miley returns to the Brewers for 1x8.5 Not quite as big a free agent as Lance Lynn, but still on point for Milwaukee Eric the Mauve fucked around with this message at 16:51 on Dec 5, 2023 |

live with fruit posted:https://twitter.com/BobbyMilone29/status/1731826534615294335 Mike Axisa is also reporting that Cole is a big King fan and is lobbying the FO to keep him. I'll believe it's really scuttled the trade when Soto ends up elsewhere, though.

If Shohei likes Dunedin he's the most easy to impress major FA who has ever existed in any American professional sport.

Also I assume the meeting in Dunedin is because they just renovated that complex and its generally thought of as if not the best, than one of the best facilities in the minors/spring training. Ohtani would be doing most of his rehabbing there so why would he not want to see that.

I think 1x8.5 is about as big a contract as a pitcher of Miley's age and track record can reasonably hope for

Also, yeah it gets cold in the winter, but baseball is a summer sport and I don't think anybody would be citing the weather if we were talking about him playing in New York instead of Toronto, despite the winters being comparable.
