almagest Posted Thursday at 09:08 PM Share Posted Thursday at 09:08 PM Bullpen? Yes. Starter? No way. I can see why he wasn't resigned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JUSTgottaBELIEVE Posted Thursday at 09:41 PM Share Posted Thursday at 09:41 PM And most thought the $3M the Sox paid him last season was an overpay. Clearly, there is a supply and demand issue on the pitching side of things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sacamano Posted Thursday at 09:44 PM Share Posted Thursday at 09:44 PM If he sucks as a starter, they can at least stick him back in the pen where he had success in 2024. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy U Posted Thursday at 09:53 PM Share Posted Thursday at 09:53 PM Good risk by Washington. I think Bannister helped him find something with the 4 seam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a bummer Bannister didn’t have more time to work with him because it seems he definitely found something. Unfortunately, it was just a little too late otherwise the Sox could have flipped Soroka for an interesting lower level prospect at last season’s TDL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted Thursday at 10:26 PM Share Posted Thursday at 10:26 PM More expensive than Fedde...White Sox will never compete under JR with their fear of long-term starting pitching contracts. Along with Witt Jr., it's the main reason the Royals became competitive again. But it seems they're now tapping out around the $120 million payroll level.

nrockway Posted Thursday at 11:16 PM Share Posted Thursday at 11:16 PM (edited) He's still got a little bit of potential, I think. I wouldn't have paid him that much though. I'm surprised, good for him. Aren't the Nats notoriously bad at developing pitchers? Edited Thursday at 11:17 PM by nrockway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted Thursday at 11:57 PM Share Posted Thursday at 11:57 PM The guy went 0-10 with a 4.74 ERA and an even higher FIP, and triples his salary. I wish I was younger and a better baseball player. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My cat is left-handed. She can kind of play fetch, too, so she can even shag one fly ball per day in the outfield on occasion. Works about as hard as (pick your favorite “Rebuild 1.0” whipping boy).
