Shedding his salary doesn’t move the needle much Plus they already have no pitching as it is. They aren't going to create another hole in their rotation.

The media may even finally join in. Hey damn well should be roasted. They have been saving money for years and now wont spend a dime where its needed! Need two pitchers. The rotation was weak at best last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 The DBacks certainly don't have to trade Ray...but he's the biggest (somewhat youngish) name out there. They'd not only have to put together a trade package for this year, but they'd have to convince him to forgo free agency. The only way that happens is if he believes he's better off signing now than waiting it out with an uncertain labor situation becoming more and more of an issue. Which means they're going to have to come up a deal quite similar to the one Wheeler just signed for a pitcher who rarely pitches into the 7th inning due to elevated pitch counts/high strikeout numbers. That's a useful quality in GRF, but you also need a lock-down bullpen if you have too many pitchers limited to 5-6 innings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iWiN4PreP Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Yeah, as this offseason goes on it looks more and more like the organization is content on making a run at it in 2021 instead of 2020. At least, that's the optimistic way of looking at it. The pessimistic way of looking at it is that this organization is incompetent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need two starters, a bullpen arm or two, and perhaps a DH/ bench bat. I don’t see any urgency by Hahn so it’s starting to look like the latter.

BackDoorBreach Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 I'm looking forward to the Walker signing and reading all the comments from the FO shills how it's actually a good thing. Like they did with Mazara. There's like 8 or 9 teams in on Ryu and Keuchel and surely some team will offer more than this FO is comfortable with.

That doesn't really compute and sounds like a bad hot take. They do a lot of Mets things but that would be really strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree the logic is flawed, but Brodie's fricken goofy man, never know wtf he's thinking. I wouldn't be shocked if he moved DeGrom tomorrow.
