Seems like a desperate move.

Aaron Nola getting 7/172 from the Phillies. His stats and durability the last 3 years compare to or are worse than Marcus Stroman.

Will probably be a lock down back of the pen guy for them.

He's had good years out of the pen, but I've never viewed him as a high leverage guy.

I heard a report that the Braves are going to let him compete for a starting job in Spring Training.

The article to which I linked said the same thing. However, it was of the opinion that they were doing it because it will be easier to convert him from starter to reliever than the other way around.

So the Cardinals are going to roll with Gray, Mikolas, Lynn, Gibson, Matz, and eventually a couple of failed kids (Liberatore most likely).

That screams "third place."

I don't see it either. I think he goes to the Giants. Bob Melvin has a solid track record of helping Asian players transition to the US game.

It's nice to see that Kimbrel is not done sabotaging playoff teams:

Would have been funny if one team signed FA bums Lance Lynn, Jason Heyward, Craig Kimbrel, Erick Fedde, Reynaldo Lopez, Paul DeJong and Kyle Gibson combined getting $58M in '24.

It was the same source that said drafting a WR top 10 was an absolute lock

There had better be a lot of clauses and escalators in that $700M.

Supposedly "most" of it is deferred. So maybe it's just shock value that it's $700M.
