Gio Gonzalez is being overlooked. Obviously not at the level of Ryu but this is a signing I'm pulling for... Fangraphs has him at 1/8 or 2/20. I'd love to sign him for something like 2/18. "Gio Gonzalez has been a model of consistency — the last time he recorded a FIP- above 100 was 2009, and he’s made 30 or more starts in eight of the 10 seasons since then. At 34, he’s no spring chicken, but he’s adapted to his declining stuff, throwing fewer fastballs and leaning on his delightful, befuddling changeup. The title of “crafty lefty” is handed out too liberally for my tastes, but in this case, it might apply. Gonzalez lost a tick off of his fastball between 2018 and 2019 — and recorded the second-highest swinging strike rate of his career." https://blogs.fangraphs.com/2020-top-50-free-agents/

That's a fucking great deal for the DBacks. Steals him from the Dodgers too. Good for them.

I would've done that deal in a heartbeat.

Good.

Oh shit if it's Rengifo and Devaux I'd do that.

Kluber that far ahead of Bum? Why? IMO Bumgarner should be at the top. No prospect loss, still only 30. Bumgarner, Teheran, and a good catcher and I'd be thrilled, though I really like Keuchel and Ryu too. A lot of options!

This strikes me as a bad idea. I'd much rather sign Ryu or Bumgarner and Teheran.

Gimme Ryu or Bum, a Catcher, and another innings eater and I'm happy

This checks the clean peanut/innings eater box. Cole alone would round out a pretty decent rotation but someone like Ryu or Teheran would really set us up for success.

Jumping in here. Julio Teheran is the heat. Get him in here! Scones for everyone.

I think relying on La Stella to be good is a bad idea.

Marsh is a great player. He should learn 1B, because the Angels need to keep him.

I love Marsh so much.

8 years hurts my brain.

I am a huge fan of Julio Teheran. This would be an excellent pickup.

2 WAR per FG, plus I think there's a nonzero chance he'd have better numbers pitching in Anaheim.

Eh. I'd rather get one of the top 3 starters on the market and someone like Ivan Nova, who you can guarantee will be healthy and pitch decent baseball.
