I think it's a pretty good value signing at first glance, though he wasn't my first choice.

[BlueBirdBro]

Stroman

Estrada

Dickey

Happ

Chavez

[Horses Fart]

Just as well seeing as the Sox are gonna spend 2 billion on Price.

[Jonn]

Shits everywhere find you're own f***ing link. Its done.

[BlueJays]

Hahahhaahahahahaha

[Dylan]

lol hope that isn't it

[BTS]

So the rotation looks complete.

 

Stroman

Happ

Estrada

Dickey

Chavez

 

I like how they were able to address it. Two short-term signings, no picks lost, and a reliever traded. Shapiro's influence.

interesting development

That's a pretty s***** rotation though.

and no world series. Wasn't happening anyways though.

Wow. Wasn't expecting this. Rote is kinda underwhelming but we also still have plenty of ammo left and the assets are liquid, so really just a strategical thing, it's not like we can't still go all in if we somehow got Carrasco and then we could move Dickey or something.

 

I'll be thrilled if the rotation ends up as these guys plus several legitimate depth pieces, though.

A #2 and four solid arms behind him. Thoroughly unsexy, but this definitely beats giving up big assets and money for pitching.

[TheHurl]

I think last year was pretty much the best he'll be...but he's okay. Not overwhelmed but I can see the depth being built up

[gbill2004]

Why? Happ is no good.

[abola2121]

There better be a trade in the works. Otherwise, f*** this.

It's an old joke, this might explain it, 25 seconds in.

[King]

I like this signing

[GD]

Everyone go look up how well Happ pitched for Pittsburgh before you judge anything. Pittsburgh fixes guys. He was incredible. Maybe he figured some stuff out.

I suppose that's true. I just hope Stroman firmly grows into that ace. I still think hes more of a #2 or #3.

[intentional wok]

lol Mariners

[Stangstag]

Interesting sign, though I wasn't really expecting Happ to get that much money...

 

I still think we need 1 more guy like Iwakuma/Lackey/Samardzija

This feels a lot like the signing you make when you strike out on Kuma/Lackey/Samardzija.

I can't see Iwakuma or Lackey happening.

[Grant77]

Looks like the Pirates may have cost themselves a pick. Hard to say though.

[Inklink]

lol wow.
