    McCullers drives me crazy. When he has his fastball command (which makes his other pitches better IMO), he's essentially unhittable and looks like one of the best pitchers in the league. On the other hand he can also throw some stinkers with alarming regularity.

    Good deal. Let the Mariners go in for a top 20 finish and weaken the Yankees rotation.

    It’s a damn shame we didn’t spend $700 mil this offseason to keep all the morons happy

    It is really a damn shame he let Luhnow offer that contract extension for Justin Verlander.

    Click really shouldn’t have snuck into Verlanders room and snipped his UCL. Also collectively bargaining to allow Springer to reach free agency. Those were his 2 biggest mistakes (so far).

    Their winning% last season projected out to 116 wins, and they added Bauer who was the best pitcher in baseball last season.

    It sucks because both franchises were in the same place 2 years ago, but they have so much damn money to not only retain all their guys, but also throw more at guys like Betts and Bauer.

    If you added Gerrit Cole and George Springer to our roster we would be projected to win 105 also.

    he also let Cole walk without even trying to sign himself to a GM contract and then offering Gerrit a deal
