Baron Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 thought this was amusing. Not that's going to be closing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knightni Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 I'm slightly afraid; but, there weren't many decent free agent arms left out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirmin' for Yermin Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 He will be our 8 inning guy out of the gate. I like this a lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose Abreu Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 He's way better than people seem to think. Excels at getting weak contact. The only concern I have with him is the slight increase in his walk rate 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirmin' for Yermin Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 This also allows us to hold onto McCann/Collins unless given a good deal. We now don't NEED to trade for a RP. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iWiN4PreP Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 It's a good deal for a reliver who's put up pretty solid numbers. I'm ok with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at Ray Ray Run Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 (edited) Not a bad deal - I didnt love any of the relievers this offseason so I'd rather be committed to one for a shorter period of time. Smith worries me with his age, stammen is just another guy who has ups and downs and is really old. Cishek still has + stuff but his age and injury are of concern... which makes the 1 year pack a good deal. I would have preferred spending the extra money to get an elite arm like Betances.

mqr Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Someone needs to explain to me why he's so much cheaper than Stammen and Harris though. Especially Stammen, because I am not seeing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tnetennba Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 So now we need 2 40 man spots, yes? Curious to see who goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 (edited) 4 minutes ago, Kyyle23 said: Hopefully the cubs didn't break him with his 150 appearances in the past two years Pretty much sums it up. Like the move today, but who the hell knows with bullpen arms year-to-year. Just got to collect as many as possible, and figure it out as you go.

mqr Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 This has gotta be it right? It's nice to have everything tied up in a bow a week into January vs nail biting into March. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
