He looked really bad the time last time he pitched and is coming off Tommy John surgery and is now 33… I guess we’ll see but not too excited about the move
Wtf, 10 Mil for a guy who can't even pitch until potentially August. Great Value there Bloom.
I'm fine with it. Still trust what Bloom is doing.
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.
Big Maple got cut down a couple years ago and is now a table somewhere. His body is destroyed, but Bloom signed him. So I expect him to be lights out for you down the stretch and head your rotation in 23
Hal sucks
Not a bad move. He's a high injury risk but could be a legit starter.
I read the second year option (plus maybe bonuses) could bring the cost up to $35M/2- really 1.3 to 1.5 seasons.
I hope Bloom knows what he's doing, but I have serious doubts on this one.
Sox 4 Ever
He always knows what he's doing, which is what he was hired for. Dinosaurs like me always want the best players available to join my team, but young front office guys are looking for the better values. And now that starting pitchers barely work half the innings of games these days, it can make sense to spend half as much on them.
How many pennants have the Yankees won with Cole? How did it work out for the '20 champs after they signed the Cy Young winner last year? Why not sign four mediocre pitchers with careers half-full instead of one old Scherzer who could break down at any minute?
I don’t know why it took you so long to figure this out, but my read on this is that you might not get anything out of him next year at all, but if he gets healthy, and gives you 2 years of decent pitching after that it pretty much comes down to $35M for 2 years of pitching. Lots of ifs in there, but I would have rather had E Rod. Not to mention your also spending $8M more on Whack a.
