Another thread title that is basically indecipherable...

This is one of the worst topic Titles I have ever seen.

I feel a little sorry for Nicky. He came and gave us a season that was totally in line with his career numbers and he didn't get hurt every few weeks. This was far more than can be said about most of the people on the 2024 team.

Fair point. It looks better for the Braves using fWAR.

Hey guys, Not a lot of news at the moment, so I figured I would revisit this trade. Number in parentheses is 2024 bWAR. Atlanta Braves (0.6) Aaron Bummer (0.6) Chicago White Sox (1.2) Jared Shuster (1.0) Michael Soroka (0.6) Nicky Lopez (0.2) Braden Shewmake (-0.6) Riley Gowens (-) 145Ks in 122 IP over A+ and AA (he's kind of old though) Hard to overlook Michael Soroka's 0-10 record, but thanks to MLB Trade Rumors, I noticed that his numbers were excellent once he was in the bullpen: IP: 36.0 Ks: 60 BBs: 20 HRs: 3 ERA: 2.75 FIP: 2.75 Conclusion: The trade was a wash.

My app said his ERA was under 5 to start the inning.

The dude doesn't have a single multi-hit game for us yet.

I found this strange: The White Sox have allowed 78 fewer runs than the Rockies, but the Rockies have 20 more victories. Hard to fathom how bad our offense is.

Hey man, he's one of the few guys doing exactly what he was paid to do. Terrible bat, decent glove.

We totally fleeced the Cardinals! I can't wait to see the young talent we got from St. Louis develop!

Matt Foster:

I mean yeah, and since we are 70 games under 500 it obviously doesn't really matter. But Brebbia's FIP is barely worse than it was last year and that was enough for us to spend 4 million or whatever. EDIT: I think he would have received a 250k bonus if he made one more appearance. So the answer is, we are cheap.

Did y'all see that Brebbia also got DFA'd and Prelander Berroa was recalled? Apologies if I missed the post somewhere.
