Shocking we’re only 2 games behind a WC spot. By the trade deadline this team badly needs to add a bat and some BP help. Even tonight we barely scraped by with a 3-0 win. This team just struggles terribly offensively. If Atkins decides to get off his ass and do something eventually it’s gotta be a masherMan we need a lefty masher so bad wasting talented pitching roster here. Hopefully we can take the series tomorrow and get to 500.
These things can be tough. He looked good last year when he got called up too, then he faded hard. Giving him a couple months in Buffalo seems pretty reasonable.Really like what I have seen from Horwitz. Almost like he should have been up a lot earlier.
Starting the year in Buffalo made sense but I think they could have called him up a few weeks ago. Although, I am stat watching and not actually watching the games.These things can be tough.

That's my issue is I don't know that I'd want to go over 3. His market is going to be very interesting.I'd probably be comfortable with 4 years on the expectation that you might end up eating a bad year at the end of the deal. He's 32 right now and while he only has about 700 IP in his MLB career, he also has close to 1200 IP from his time in NPB (though he wasn't like some crazy Daisuke Matsuzaka overwork candidate, having an average of like 25 starts and 160-170 innings per NPB season. His 2023 with the Jays was the second highest inning total in a season after only his last year with Seibu before joining the Mariners.) so I'm not sure I'd want to commit like 5-7 years on him since he is a velo guy and not a crafty, Maddux-esque control pitcher who stands a better chance of aging well.
That probably wouldn't be enough though. Some team is going to figure he'll pitch fine until he's 37-38 and give him 6 years.
Looking at comparables from last offseason, I think 2 years is most likely, 3 is possible, and there's basically no chance he gets more than that unless he's happy for a longer-term deal at a much lower AAV.That's my issue is I don't know that I'd want to go over 3.

Yeah they tried to win 1-0 again and got burned.Every game.. same thing every game.
