Without having any clue what the hold up is, this seems like a no brainer.

Its possible we are working on a trade for someone better. Or we're waiting for his price to drop.

That said, the options are drying up quickly, and if we let him sign somewhere else, its likely to cost us even more, either via trade or overpaying ryu.

Or Billy doesn't want Keuchel.

Very possible, too.

Who does he want? We need pitching. If he's going to get super picky then we're going to end up with Bundy as our big pitching signing.

If that's his only pitching upgrade of the off season is this team a playoff team next year?

Probably not. I'd guess more like 80-85 wins and missing a wild card spot. We need to add something on that side of things. We're not far away from being a contender.

Lol. 

That's essentially like Boston asking for Adell and Marsh. Or at least Marsh and Adams. I'm guessing Chicago wants Benitendi and a lot of money thrown in, otherwise that's just fucking stupid.

Let Boston keep their garbage.

Wow, I've been mocking him all along, but for that pocket change, he certainly seems worth a shot.

It’s easy for these sellers to ask pretty much for anything right now. Prices will drop.

Dang, I'd do both. I'm not even a Ryu guy and I'd do that

Seems super cheap considering what Bumgarner just got. Sign them both for that. 3/$93 for two SPs seems pretty good.

Think about this.

By after 2022, $76 million AAV would be freed from payroll (Pujols, Upton, Keuchel, and Ryu).

It’s supposedly between the Halos and ChiSox for Keuchel.

Pitchers do realize who the Halos pitching coach is now?

Says who? Link me to a story where the Halos are rumored to be interested in on Keuchel because there hasn't been one all this off-season.

If I'm a ground ball pitcher I'm going to the Angels
