Jack Parkman Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 (edited) Who are some SP that might be available via trade? I can't think of many decent pitchers on rebuilding teams. Robbie Ray? Jon Gray? Edited November 13, 2019 by Jack Parkman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSoxFanMike Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Smith is controlled through the 2023 season, left handed, and has good stuff. Not to mention that he’s on the Marlins. I’d definitely inquire about him to see what the cost is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFutureIsNear Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 It’s pretty hard to look at many teams and see excess quality pitching... Chris Archer Price/Eovaldi Marco Gonzales Braves have like 8 young arms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of some trash, Kyle Freeland interesting buy low guy. Not sure he would be available but he imploded spectacularly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what their window for contention is. The price tag would be pretty high I would assume if he would be available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

he gone.

Speaking of some trash, Kyle Freeland interesting buy low guy. Not sure he would be available but he imploded spectacularly. this post is a bit confusing to me. Gray actually has decent statcast numbers behind him, while Freeland, does not and by all accounts was actualyl really lucky his rookie year. Gray barrel % is above league average at 3.9% and sits right there with scherzer and strasburg. Now his hard hit percentage is bottom 20, which means balls are being hit hard, but not on the barrel which although not great, is also probably a sign of him throwing good pitches. What you want, or what you aim for in my opinion is ground ball out pitchers. Because with a good, rangy infield (which we should have) you can consistently count on those being outs. Now these aren't the type of guys you necessarily want to go for you in game 7 of the playoffs, but these are nice innings eaters who get you to that level. Dakota Hudson is a good example (not that hes available), but he pitches to contact, groundballs, gets outs, but is prone to a few seeing eye singles and bad games. ACtually Ivan Nova was top 10 in the league in ground ball outs, which really isn't a terrible resigning to eat innings. But others that are or may be availble are Ryu (5th) S. Alcantara (13th) Wade miley (17th), Wheeler (24th) Martin Perez (23rd), Musgrove (32nd). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSox59 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 I prefer we don't use trade assets on acquiring SP when there is plenty on the FA market that only cost money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
