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.
First year back from TJS. I don't mind the Grillioption, but I'm taking the risk on Motte over Joba and Cotts all day long. Guy was an AS stud pre TJS.
On a one year deal? Worth the risk IMO. Brett Anderson just got 1 yr $10M from the Dodgers.
I figured the Jays woukd have been very appealing to Motte as an opportunity to close for a good team
Keep in mind Dickey throws his knuckleball 10-15 mph harder than Wake did....time will tell how age affects his velocity. It's too simplistic to simply say see Wakefield...
I'd love him back as a reliever. I think he'd dominate in the pen if he wanted to pitch there.
Unfortunately he doesn't want to be in the pen and there are lots of teams who will give him a chance to be their 5th starter. I just can't see him returning.
Anyone think Tinnish might get a shot as a GM on another team anytime soon? Has anyone heard any rumours about there being interest in him? He's an impressive kid.
