Lip Man 1 Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Smart move by Cleveland since I assume if they make a qualifying offer to Gio and he refuses they get a draft pick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that reset? I thought that went away (and stayed with the player) once he was traded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gio was traded before being put on waivers. Not QO eligible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think a player at this juncture wants to be picked up by a team with a chance at the playoffs. After the season, Gio can still decide where he wants to go next year. So at least Cleveland is still in the race and Francona is well liked by his players. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because he is an impending FA and these games don't matter. Literally zero reason to claim him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kitekrazy Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Nice that they are not throwing in the towel. I was hoping the Reds would chance getting a pitcher. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

almagest Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 (edited) Well, at least we know it isn't JUST Sox coaching causing their players to be broken... spreading the plague around the league!

scotty22hotty Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 kind of feel bad for him. its only been 7 games since he was traded but I think he pitched himself out of a 100M+ contract Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can somehow put together a decent 2024, he'll only be 30 and could sign a large 3-4 year deal...but not after this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it was all about the luxury tax threshold. They couldn't find a taker for Grichuk, so they're now stuck with a pick in the 120 range versus 60 if Ohtani signs elsewhere....2nd round falling down to 4th for compensation.

I wonder if the Dodgers could improve him and Cle is good at developing pitching. Plus I wonder what it's like for a player to go to a hated rival.

It's a crazy circle. If he pitched like they expected him to, they would be in a playoff race and he stays. They were buyers at the deadline, then sellers when who they bought didn't work out.

I think his Sox fandom peaked when they hired his buddy and hit bottom on the plane ride west. A buddy of mine grew up a huge Cub fan. Was drafted by the Mets. Lol sweet irony.
