Around Baseball 2020

Trevor Bauer's resolve to sign only 1-year contracts is going to be tested with a $250M offer this offseason if he keeps this up.

 

No doubt. But I feel like if anyone would actually sign 1 year at a time just to troll the world, it would be Bauer.

Derek Holland today allowed 4 homerun to the first 5 Detroit Tigers batters he faced. He lasted 3 IP. The Pirates are BAD.

He went 5 innings and 6 bombs, yikes!

So it took 5 years of MLB development but Miguel Castro is finally good?

That's epic! lol

Charlie Morton out early. Discomfort. Could be arm, could be last nights enchilada.

[Brownie19]

That is incredible Zack

Big uptick in velo the past 2 years. He's averaging 98 MPH this year v. 95.5 MPH in 2018. Also - now throwing strikes.

Link is broke or something? Hah... the one works where I quoted you, morons... Laureano's going to get a hefty suspension, that's for sure.

Laureno is getting a good suspension.

[Jonn]

 

Just ban the 2 teams. Have a dispersal draft of their rosters based on the current records. Problem solved.

[TheDragon]

Congrats Astros and A's, you all now have COVID-19

Horseshit if Laureano gets more than a few games. The coach should get booted for the rest of the year. There needs to be a higher standard for coaches when it comes to this type of stuff.

Yeah im sure it had NOTHING to do with his injury lol.

 

Jays win the trade easy. Stroman will now be a free agent next year

He'll still be a free agent this season actually. He accrued enough service time to become a free agent end of this season.

 

Brodie Van Wagenen has given up Anthony Kay, Justin Dunn, Jerred Kelenic, and Simeon Woods-Richardson within a 1 year span.

It's like when that new guy joins your dynasty league and he doesn't have quiiiiite enough fantasy baseball experience to have a proper feel for the value of different assets.

 

Atkins took him to school. Hilarious in hindsight that the industry panned the Stroman return. Stroman had 0.9 fWAR as a Met. Kay already has 0.5 in like 22 innings.

[Angrioter]

.....and now Mets and Jays are tied.

 

Dickey trade and now Stroman trade

[Laika]

Who thinks Marcus Stroman manipulated his own service time? By that I mean, faked his injury so he could spend just enough time on the IL to roll over the 24 days of service time he needed to be a free agent.

[Terminator]

I think the family concerns are made up, he's more worried about FA and I don't blame him. He was due to make a few mil on a prorated salary but if he got hurt he'd cost himself a lot of money this offseason. Now he should be in line for a nice 3+ year deal this coming offseason.

I dunno, He doesn't seem to be the type?
