Rumours say it's 1 year, $2.5M + incentives. That's a steal IMO when you consider Brett Anderson got 1 year $10M + incentives.

 

I was always a big Morrow fan. I'm sad to see him go.

Seems light, no?

[Spanky99]

Seems light, no?

 

"If" he stays relatively healthy, it'll pay off for him.

Yeah, that's a really strange gap in numbers considering they both have upside but injury history... Yes, Anderson is likely better than Morrow, but he's arguably more risky health wise, and is he really 4x better than Morrow?

[L54]

For sure. Just surprised he couldn't get more guaranteed.

[TheHurl]

Yes if you compare it to an even more injury prone guy in Anderson. But there is a difference as Morrow didn't put up 44 really great innings in Colorado. Morrow is also 30 now (compared to 26 for Anderson). I think it's a fair deal for Morrow

[HERPDERP]

Anderson is only 26?! o_o

 

Maybe he'll end up being a durable player and can get one more big contract (assuming he puts up a good year I doubt he'll get more than 3 years)

[blurnandez]

Wow, nice deal for the Padres. I knew Morrow was going to end up in an NL pitcher's park to rebuild his value.

 

Good luck Brandon.

[LongTimeReader]

I don't think Morrow will ever be dominant again but he could be a serviceable starter for some NL team

[burlingtonbandit]

Hopefully he doesn't turn into the last Toronto pitcher that went to SD to rebuild his value.

It's probably close, but I still think it's light. Just seems like a substantial difference between Morrow and Anderson's contracts, when steamer thinks both are 1 WAR players. Yes, Anderson has probably both a higher floor and ceiling, but is that worth 4x in guaranteed dollars?

Morrow touched 100 out of the pen. This is where his value lies. With his diabetes he shouldn't be a starter.

Haha, it's funny when you say it like that, even if it's true.

Well, the Dodgers have the money, but I agree they shouldn't be that far apart, it is one year after all.

[Chappy]

What's funny?

[Spanky99]

What's funny?

 

I was wondering the same thing? I think he's referring to lies, the wording???

[L54]

I agree.

 

Probably what Friedman has always dreamed of, being able to take a 10M flyer on a guy like Anderson.

[Spanky99]

I agree.

Nothing like payroll, flexibility, lol.

[Jimcanuck]

I agree.

We are gonna find out Friedman is a better GM with a low budget than a large one

Man, I love how one-sighted h is.

Great now all the resign Morrow threads can stop

Looking forward to starting the "Should the Jays trade for Morrow" thread around the trade deadline. You know...if his arm/shoulder/finger/oblique hasn't crippled yet.
