No doubt would be a huge signing. He was pretty shaky at the end of last season though. Maybe only pitching half a season will be good for him

He got shelled in the post season, probably gotta sign him to a two year deal to get him. The first year is prorated and only gonna be 5 months. Probably 2 years 38 million gets him, unless somebody gives him 3 years. ( I wouldn't)

He is not getting 2 years,38 mil. Maybe 3, 38. I think it will be more like 2, 24 with a player option after this year.

Is there any precedent for a guy like this doing a work out for teams interested? Similar to college QBs having a pro day. Seems a big risk to sign a guy for two years without know whether he can still be effective, and pitching might be the easiest skill to objectively assess.

He got his shit pushed in all post season last year . While I don’t expect a Darvish like mental breakdown from him from now on but he’s not going to be the pitcher he was in years past .

At least Morrow is off the books after this season.

It would still be cool if Morrow made it back for a few innings this year. He was lights out last year before Joe blew him up.

Cishek, Strop, Morrow, Kimbrel could be a good 4 inning quartet.

That would be outstanding. They can use whatever resources they have left to trade for someone that uses their left arm when pitching.

Im no math major, but I think its tough to have a quartet with only three guys.

Very good news.

They finally addressed the biggest issue on this team. I would have preferred a 2 yr deal, but can't be too picky when all of us were calling for Theo/Jed to address this pen in some fashion.

Rumors of his demise have been greatly exaggerated. It's a win now move, I like it.

Yeah I agree with getting him I just think we’re not getting years past Kimbrel. Hope I’m wrong .
