    OMG! Bloom is sitting on his hands! How could he let him get away?
    When you say it's gonna happen now
    When exactly do you mean?

    But doesn't 8M for 1 year set a bar of sorts for starting pitching? Ray is coming off a bad year, but is under 30, a one-time All-Star, and a better bounce-back/upside guy than someone nearly a decade older. Unless his arm is cooked...

    I think it sets something of a bar, yes.

    Maybe a little. I think we need a few more signings to have a better idea.

    In contrast, say, to more than half the AAV that inked Eovaldi two years ago... after just one All-Star month.

    I still expect Gausman to follow suit...

    Probably a wise move by Gausman and Stroman. They are decent pitchers , but neither has ever been a big winner and they will both turn thirty shortly. I don't think there would be a great demand for them , especially with a Q.O. involved , even in good times.

    Bauer, the Cy Central winner who also pitched great in the playoffs (unlike Bieber), rejected his QO and would cost a draft pick. Bloom now says he'd still pursue such a player, if he fits into longterm plans. Bauer is 30 and smack dab in his prime, an ace to build around. No one younger or better is available.

    Would anyone object to watching Bauer lead the rebuild for the next four years... instead of watching him in pinstripes with Cole?

    No one's going to object to Bauer pitching for us, that's for sure. It all depends if there's room for him in John Henry's money pie.

    I am still operating on the assumption that Bauer would avoid pitching in pinstripes with Cole, since they allegedly hate each other dating back to when they were teammates at UCLA...
