Ugh

Agree but they have 7 starters and know 99.9 % then me. There are people here who seem connected so if they got inside info on pitchers appreciated

I spend spend no time on Twitter reading random stuff - it’s excellent for getting sports content.

I don’t know 5 people family or friends outside here that are on Twitter

Actually family is zero it’s me and that’s it

Yeah, why keep a surprise great FA signing who just happened to lead the team in ERA (3.32), ERA+ (127) and WHIP (1.115). And none of those were close, ERA was 3.32 vs 3.87, ERA+ was 127 vs 109 and WHIP was 1.115 vs 1.235

Clearly, they didn't feel as if the odds of Wacha repeating that performance were very good.

i have zero interest in giving Wacha a convoluted deal that could end up being 4 years

I was interested in retaining him for a year with a club option. Anything more and it’s dial tone.

DeGrom already hurt himself in Texas

Yep. He was great last year but there’s a reason it took him this long to find a deal. That’s too long for Wacha.

Good depth option, plays good defense all around the infield. Needed a Taiwanese guy too, it’s been too long.

Interesting is the improvement he showed in the 2nd half of the season. First half he was not an MLB caliber player, 2nd half he was actually a solid bench infielder. Pretty small sample overall but he may have figured something out to be able to stick at this level

1st half: 79 PA .181/.253/.264 with 4 BB and 35 K’s (44% k rate)

2nd half: 111 PA .229/.315/.354 with 12 BB and 24 K’s (21% k rate). Combine this line with good defense and he’s a useful player.

Overheard: "And I bet some people thought we weren't going to re-sign the guy who ended the 2022 season playing shortstop for the Red Sox."

Is there any room in this pocket for a little spare Chang?
