So the Angels are showing caution (delaying the return already and discussing a safer, lower risk option for him on the field when he does return) and you process it as reckless. OK.
Heaney has been a potentially good pitcher his whole career and an underachiever.
At some point actual performance trumps potential.
For a contender, he is a #5 starter.
They are disappointed in what those guys have done. They want premium not “arguably better.”
If they were OK with “arguably better” then they would stand pat since both Snell and Paddack are “arguably better” than how they have pitched.
Agree.
Also have to admit I would love Scherzer here for the same reason for next year (obviously would need to extend).
I don’t think he is done even though he is 37.
