So here’s the remaining starting pitchers on MLBTR’s top 50 free agents list:

  • 05) Kevin Gausman: 6/$138M | $23M AAV
  • 07) Robbie Ray: 5/$130M | $26M AAV
  • 09) Max Scherzer: 3/$120M | $40M AAV
  • 11) Marcus Stroman: 5/$110M | $22M AAV
  • 14) Eduardo Rodriguez: 5/$77M | $15.4M AAV
  • 18) Carlos Rodon: 1/$25M
  • 19) Jon Gray: 4/$56M | $14M AAV
  • 22) Anthony DeSclafani: 3/$36M | $12M AAV
  • 23) Justin Verlander: 2/$50M | $25M AAV
  • 26) Alex Wood: 2/$20M+ | $10M+ AAV
  • 27) Steven Matz: 3/$27M | $9M AAV
  • 33) Clayton Kershaw: 1/$20M
  • 34) Yusei Kikuchi: 2/$20M
  • 37) Noah Syndergaard: 1/$21M
  • 39) Alex Cobb: 2/$16M | $8M AAV
  • 40) Zack Greinke: 1/$15M
  • 46) Corey Kluber: 1/$12M
  • 48) Danny Duffy: 1/$10M
  • 50) Andrew Heaney: 1/$8.5M

If Matz signs soon, that would be 5 of MLBTR’s top 11 starters off the board and giant chunk of the B / C tier.

For us?

I mean, yeah. I for one think we actually have a good pitching coach - and Yeah while getting a guy who has been more wild isn’t great - Katz helped make our other wild pitchers effective.

And sinker, change, curve, slider is an interesting pitches I think Katz could work with.

With the exception of Scherzer and Stroman, two pitchers I have low confidence we’d land, will be difficult to pay for strong, known productivity. So reasonable upside you can escape from seems like next best play.

I think we’ll end up with our next rotation piece via trade once again this off-season.

Fun update: settings have been changed to allow posters to see who reacted to their post and with what. A reminder that all reactions are a positive +1 on the reputation scoreboard. For now, the laugh emoji is still there, but if certain sensitive sammies try to start bar fights over it, it will be removed. Contrary to some notions, this was never enabled except to mods. But we are bringing you knowledge of how fire is made, may you use it for only good. 

I have a feeling that we are going to see much fewer reactions now. 
 

Is this change retroactive to all reactions given in the past?

Probably so...but doesn't seem like the greatest idea in the world, unless the plan is to create more animosity between posters.

SoxTalk Hunger Games.  Or Squid Games, or something like that.

Why is he odd man out? I would think Cueto would be out of the guys they lost.

Sure, but they really liked Wood, just not as much as DeScalfini.  We will see if they circle back to Cueto after January if other options are off the table.  Obviously, Gausman has to be the next priority to address.

Perhaps, but not sure how cowardly one must be to be concerned with someone reviewing their reaction, especially on an anonymous message board. 

People should be all for transparency, and should be able to stand by what they post and also their reactions.
