Yep, he's getting traded. And I'd imagine whoever trades for him views him as a 2-2.5 year rental. They will pitch him to the ground and then whoever signs him as a FA, he's their problem.
I think he gets traded in the offseason because I don't think a contending team would trust him to throw 200+ innings including the postseason. He will be ready for it next year after the jump this year.
Shades of Shane Bieber.
I have probably been the biggest Thorpe skeptic, but if he's really sitting 92-93 this will work. I was concerned if he was 88-90.
So now that Thorpe and Cannon are with the Sox, there are going to be some pitching promotions, right?
Eder is 25 I'd like to see him in Charlotte and Taylor should go up to W/S at least IMO.
