I'm completely chill.  You aren't the only one who suggested it. I just find it odd, given how few eclipse 3 WAR each year.

It's alright, I know how you are after all these years. Your arrogance showing once again.

It's annoyance, not arrogance. I see it often where people talk about starters being 3/4 guys when they're actually Top 40 in all of baseball. 3 WAR starters are hard to come by.

It's a pet peeve thing.  You just happened to say it.  It's not directed at you.

Sucks we have to keep trading prospects for starting pitching since we can’t develop any. Also, our offense sucks and doesn’t seem like there’s anything in the system to look forward to. Seems like they are trying to turn us into Cleveland with good starting pitching (although they seem to be able to develop their own pitchers) and a weak offense. 

Didn't they developed Yesavage?

this would be the funniest things ever loll

Honestly, a few pitchers in a 10+ years span isnt that good of a track record lol

Manoah before he was injured, he was pretty good

I wonder if we package Soriano with somebody like say Varsho?  Who needs a starter and a centerfielder?

I would love a good flip 

[Abomination]

I like this trade. IMO it's probably an underpay by us. It sucks to lose Nimmala, but this helps fill a major hole in our starting staff for next year (if next year happens) that was going to be hard to fill via free agency. An equivalent pitcher probably gets 5/125 on the open market.

This is a good trade, sold high on Nimmala who I really thought would be exposed (a little more) once he hit AA; who knows this could be a steal.

People look at the Dodgers and think every rotation should have 3 nasty arms at the top of the rotation

Heyo, wasn't expecting this but I like that we're reloading for the upcoming seasons, not bad, you have to give to get, baby.

[Slade]

This is a good trade. Shed salary now and buy your way back and regroup in the offseason.

Go and get a better shortstop prospect. Luis Pena from the Brewers

[Eat My Shatkins]

We'll see what happens the rest of the day, but if the Jays damn bats can get going (especially Vlad) this team could still go on a crazy run. Added Soriano, Bieber had a few starts where he looked like he was back, Scherzer might be healthy and just had a solid 6 IP start, Miles now in the pen to go with the three headed monster (Hoff, Varland, Rogers). Little even looked decent in his last three appearances. Just a little bit of a hot streak from the offense and they might go on a tear here.

 

[L54]

Cease 

Yesavage 

Soriano 

Ponce 

is a good place to be entering 2027. Big W trade from alpha Ross 

Soriano was a big SP breakout to start this season, zero chance Nimmala would’ve got him then

Miles in the mix too, and should be ready to ramp up his innings more next season.

Plus Spener Miles will get stretched out for more innings, looking good friendo.

Miles probably starts in the minors as depth but I know what you’re saying
