There both was and was not standing offer to Montgomery if you believe it.Originally Posted by Bellhorn04
There both was and was not standing offer to Montgomery if you believe it.
Buoyed by his 7.5 fWAR three years ago.
You could say the same thing about Wheeler, except it was only 7.2…
7.2
4.2
5.9
7.5
4.6
3.4
I would NOT say the samples look the same to me. Wheeler's second best season is +1 greater than Burnes. Same with the third season. Burnes is also trending DOWN, especially when you look on Statcast. That's not the case for Wheeler.
Yes, the Interest Kings do stay engaged and connected.
Championships since purchase by John Henry group: Red Sox 4 Yankees 1
The Red Sox are 8-1 in their last 9 postseason games against the Yankees.
Carrabis said that his contacts told him two different messages. One said there was a standing offer. The other said the other person was wrong and there was no standing offer. Maybe one was made and pulled at some point?
So now you come around to that theory.
WAR is good for something.
You could say Wheeler's numbers were buoyed by his season 3 years ago, right?
(Not to the same extent, but it's true.)
When you say it's gonna happen now
When exactly do you mean?
No.
Wheeler's next best season was only 1.3 fWAR less. Burnes' was almost 3!
I just don't like the cut of Burnes' jib. He's a good pitcher, but I don't think I was ever ALL IN on trading for him.
Looks like the Dodgers are about to lock up Will Smith with a 10 year extension for the soon to be 29 year old.
There may be deferred money and a guarantee of $140M.

Montgomery got a pretty good payday for a ten game winner. And we can now stop calling him " Monty ". No cute nicknames for the enemy.
Old school is good school.
And the Sox had no need for him because they signed Giolito.

Breaking news:
The SOX just picked up a starter from the Rays. His name is Uwasawa, who is 30 years old. The trade involved cash going to Tampa. In 10 years of pitching in Japan he had a 3.19ERA.
He's a finesse pitcher whose fastball is in the 90mph range.
