I get the feeling this FO will probably shy away from long contracts for SPs for the most part.  I don't see a Ray/Gausman/etc, or anyone who commands 5 or more years.

I think they will save that long-term contract for Ohtani, and instead search for shorter-term commitments for FA SPs.

Could be right. THis puts Verlander, Rodon, Kershaw, Gray, and Wood on the potential list.

Two innings in the past two seasons (or so I think the guy said on Hot Stove). A muffled "woo hoo." One year at $21m. Does we got another Dark Knight?

Let's see how long the arm holds up after February.

Why does it seem like everyone is focusing on the loss of a draft pick?  It’s not like the Halos know how to draft.

I'd like to see them get to the playoffs now as well

Trading for Catillo or Gallen would work for me!

Mutants can still get injured. You haven't watched the X-Men movies? 

No.  I am definitely not into the superhero genre.  I don’t get it.

It's not that they don't know how but there seems to be  a lot of luck involved in players developing into what teams hope they are

You have to have some level of nerd in you to appreciate them

As if this is the wrong way to be?

Arte is 75 years old and far richer now than ever before in his life.  Every person on earth in his exact situation would also be in “win now” mode.

 

Also have the two most talented players on the planet with a solid third-banana (Rendon) to boot. Even an average pitching staff takes us to the playoffs.

I would rather have Iglesias than Syndergaard 

If those were my choices, I'd probably pick Iglesias give Syn's health. Despite what's been written though, I think we can still re-sign RI.

I have some nerd in me for sure but just can’t get interested in it.  But I don’t make fun of it.  People dig it.  Cool.

This is one of those deals that we will look back on as amazing or total crap, I don't see much in between here.

If he has a semblance of health, I think he'll win 15 minimally. He's going to a new league and the hitters don't know him well.

I was about to say, why not both?

Question about losing our draft pick.... If we sign another player with the QO attached, what happens then? Do we lose another pick or does that team not get anything?

You get standard game show parting gifts.  Rice-a-Roni and shit.

I like it, dont really care about the draft pick right now this club needs to win at the ML level, now.
The only question i have is whether this is the beginning, or the end?  Is he the piece, or the compliment.
Will we still either go out and sign another to a longer term deal such as a Stroman, or make a trade for one such as the rumored Mia or Cin options.
If i had to guess right now, i think more likely a trade is coming as we still have other issues to address.
But this is definitely an encouraging start, i hope

I can't see this as the main option. I think the Angels are in on multiple pitchers. I read that we were close to getting E-Rod.

And also lose a third round pick, if memory serves me right.

Of course, I’m 65.

The signing, or @Jasons Lamar joke?

Why do you say that? I hope you're wrong.

Yes. If we sign another player, we'd lose our 3rd rounder as well.
