San Diego climate is very moderate. Rarely do they have days over 80 degrees.
Almost every day is 72-76 degrees
Toronto summers are much more unbearable
He's a 1WAR player. so that's close to 7million a year.
I agree bullpen is priority. rotation will be tough, need some of the young guys - sanchez, Norris to step up and provide low cost contribution
Redsox just signed nestor Molina. wasn't he the big Jays prospect that was given up to get Santos??
how the mighty have fallen...
prospects don't always turn out. sometimes you get more value out of a trade then waiting to see if they turn out
Reds did try stretching Chapman out and it failed. I think they tried a couple times, as recent as 2014 season. He went to DL as a result and came back in his normal closer role
I'd rather give some $ to morrow to come back as #5 to start season, leave Norris in aaa and keep sanchez in bullpen this year. You have some money to get other options at the back end. I just don't like idea of giving up Norris when he's this close to contributing at a high level. Cardinals use these young starters and have a long term history of success
