[Ochocinco!]

If true guess means Arte is ready to spend?

It’s something and I will only be excited and full of hopium until he sucks 

[ScottT]

Ryan Madson should help the team.

From June 15th -

44.7 K% (1st in MLB)

40.7 K-BB% (1st)

0.65 WHIP (1st)

1.82 xFIP (1st)

31.6 SwStr% (1st)

49.6% chase rate (1st)

Filthy!

His Savant page is admittedly boner worthy.

[Pancake Bear]

Cool, I guess. It's hard to get too excited when the next add is likely to be Adam Duvall. Hopefully it means, Arte has gotten over his Ohtani went to the Dodgers pity party and is actually planning on opening up the wallet and letting Perry do his job.

[Ochocinco!]

I’d say spending $10 mill a year on a guy who may not even be a closer is opening up the wallet or it’s just a bad use of resources by Perry. Lets see how the rest of the off-season shakes out 

[ScottT]

15 million, 5 deferred?

[JAHV76]

They need pitching and they have added some this offseason if they stood put fans should be more upset. Hopefully they go after a starter and upgrades on the offense.

[Second Base]

Outstanding signing. I'm a big fan.

[Ochocinco!]

Finish the bullpen off with one more lefty, Moore or Peralta 

[ThisismineScios]

Bunch of idiots, can't believe they signed the second best reliever on the market with a top 5 K% and 3rd lowest WHIP of any qualified reliever for 50% less than Hader. Thanks for nothing Arte.

Yeah but do you see his extension? Such a stupid move, it's Tepera all over again.

Yanks DFA'd Bubba Thompson. A smart team would be all over that. 

Sorry, please explain this to someone who only sees that he was a first round pick 6.5 years ago, and has a career OPS of .765 in the minors with a 26% strikeout rate

Trust me, I'm not a fan of giving relievers multi-year contracts. But this guy is apparently legit so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt for now.

I had never heard of Brebbia before this morning.

Bubba is one of those guys that really needed that year of lost developmental time from COVID, but when he's right, he posts decent contact rates, has enough pop in his bat to keep them honest and plays elite defense. 

Similar to Jordyn Adams. Has options. Good stash.

I hadn't, either.  The relief market is so strange to me these days.

[tdawg87]

Decent reliever. I think we need a lefty, though.

Matt Moore?
