Sorry for being really vague here as I'm no longer in the business of trying to break news or anything like that, in addition to not wanting to ruin what could be huge for the Halos.....but I heard just today from a reputable source that we're signing a top tiered starting pitcher sometime over the new few days. While I know who this starting pitcher is, I cannot reveal it is at this time. 

A new birdie has risen like a phoenix from the ashes with good news to come real soon. 

Happy Thanksgiving y'all. 

Out of curiosity, can you at least tell us on a scale of 1-10 how much we're gonna lose our shit?

 

1 being like signing Gray, and we're all like "well....ok, he's solid, and keeps money for ohtani", and 10 being like Scherzer or Ray where half the board is "FUCK YEAH, EE DID IT!" While the other half is "So long Ohtani"

 

And please dont say 4 or 6, because I made this scale, and even I wouldnt know what that meant

IF this is a hint,  Scherzer has played for Arizona.  Then again it could be a trade for Trevor Bauer who started his career there and whose career at this time could be considered in ashes.

He said signing so I’m going to assume it isn’t a trade.

Robbie Ray. Former DBack, and lately a birdie (Blue Jay). Risen from the ashes: No one thought much of him until his CY campaign this year.

Yeah, definitely don't see Bauer coming here for a multitude of reasons.  Just trying to follow the Phoenix breadcrumbs.

True top tier would be Scherzer

I really hope not.  He's had such terrible control problems over his career.  He had a career year, but he's historically struggled to pitch deep into games because of his lack of control.  CJ Wilson, anyone?

This year he pitched in 32 games.  Went five inning or more in every single game, six innings or more in 25 of those games. Turned a corner?
