Even if his contract stipulated that he had to live in a sensory deprivation chamber when not on the field, I'm not sure Trevor Bauer helps a major league team in 2024 He's been out of the majors for close to three years, he's an admitted cheater, he's only had one or two seasons where he was ever that good, he's 33 with tons of innings on his arm, and he's a pitcher Like, there's this idea that if you're willing to hold your nose and he behaves himself, you're getting a young ace on the cheap, but I don't think that's actually all that likely even if he's a perfect angel

Mike_V posted:wasn't bauer getting obliterated in the NPB? IIRC he had a start on his team’s minor league affiliate and everyone thought it was because he was getting shelled but it (unfortunately) ended up being something he volunteered for as the equivalent of a rest day throw session, or like he was going to miss a start otherwise. Or maybe that was just the official line.

He did get torched once or twice but overall pitched well enough unfortunately: 2.76 ERA 130.2 IP 130 K across 19 games

If the Dodgers are not pursuing a Japanese player this winter then I assume he's just not that good.

live with fruit posted:What are the Giants doing? What sense does this make? Giants have an OF glut, DeSclafani is dogshit, and prior to getting injured last year Ray was coming off two pretty strong seasons including a Cy. Also given the hugely inflated FA price for pitchers right now, as long as Ray is healthy and gives them #3 starter results or better his $25M AAV is honestly not that bad.

Ray's not pitching until early August. Seems like a risky move by the Giants but they also probably did not exactly want to play the will he/won't he game with Mitch's health again. Meanwhile the Mariners are addicted to that game and have convinced themselves this time they can win it.

Trading for Ray is the kind of This Is For The Playoffs move you expect the Dodgers or Braves to make, not a team that should be more concerned with reaching the playoffs in the first place.

Stallings is awful but I guess if you are an MLB vet catcher you will get a lot of these jobs https://twitter.com/harding_at_mlb/status/1743366952632897965?s=46&t=BHs6Pl38GJXGN2Y4xeriNA

The one year deals will never stop flowing until your knees turn to dust.
