I figured we could use a thread like this for news worthy of a post but not necessarily its own thread...like...
Mike Moustakas signing with the Reds for 4 years and $64 million (apparently to play second base). Raise your hand if you saw that coming.
I suggested we sign Moose instead of Moreland a couple years back.
$64 is a lot of money. It looks like prices are not going down.
When you say it's gonna happen now
When exactly do you mean?
So apparently Jose Peraza is a serious non-tender candidate now...
Zack Wheeler may be signing soon. His deal is expected to top the $100 million mark. White Sox are making a serious push.
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.
I wonder if GM's wouldn't be losing their minds over Wheeler if he wasn't a 1st round pick.
Wheeler's career is remarkably similar to Eovaldi's, right down to the significant injury history.. And Eovaldi has only $51mill left plus represents the opportunity to dump an unproductive contract. Yet Wheeler is the Hottest New Thing while Eovaldi is completely unloved.Originally Posted by mvp 78
I guess in this respect, Eovaldi is a bargain...
Hard agree.
Except Wheeler has pitched 377.2 innings over the last 2 seasons. So he's got a nice Recency Effect going for him.

Recency Bias.
Since 2013, Wheeler has 749 IP and Eovaldi has 763 IP...

Wow, $18M/1.
No way Porcello gets just $8M/1 as some said he might take.

Wheeler vs Eovaldi:
Last 2 years:
Wheeler (378 IP) 23-15 3.65 (107 ERA+, 1.19 WHIP, 3.6 K/BB)
Eovaldi (179 IP) 8-8 4.63 (97 ERA+, 1.30 WHIP, 3.1 K/BB)
Last 3 years:
Wheeler (464 IP) 26-22 3.94 (100 ERA+, 1.27 WHIP, 3.1 K/BB)
Eovaldi (179 IP) 8-8 4.63 (97 ERA+, 1.30 WHIP, 3.1 K/BB)
Last 5 years:
Wheeler (464 IP) 26-22 3.94 (100 ERA+, 1.27 WHIP, 3.1 K/BB)
Eovaldi (458 IP) 31-19 4.52 (95 ERA+, 1.35 WHIP, 2.7 K/BB)
Even the 5 year numbers are not really close, except for the IP. Still, if Wheeler is worth $118M/5, Eovaldi's deal looks like a bargain.
