They're going to need big league innings and there is value in that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As of right now, they really don't have much to sell at the deadline. Banking on Fedde pitching well, Soroka staying healthy, and Flexen pitching like he did in in 2021 and 2022. They might be trade chips. Edited March 19 by Bob Sacamano Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Side Hit Men Posted March 22 Author Share Posted March 22 Jordan Montgomery is now intentionally waiting beyond Opening Day to avoid a QO hung around his neck next offseason. Tommy Pham may be the only other signed player among the five unsigned players listed below. Updates through reported signings through Thursday evening. I would like a Greinke signing if interested, he has historically stayed healthy and lately provided 137-171 innings per season (2021-2023).
