Solid signing w/ Rodon


I used to be die hard into baseball. I hate how little I know now.

i literally didn't know Carlos Rodon existed

He threw a no-hitter last year.

Okay lol there were 9 last year. I also don't know John Means or Tyler Gilbert, who evidently threw no hitters as well

Fair enough. Hopefully hes not Aaron Rowand 2.0
I would love to add Nelson Cruz, but Kapler loves his mixing and matching way too much to ever clog the DH spot with one guy.

It's a two year deal. Dude has closer type stuff as a starter. Former #3 overall pick 2014. Jimmy G like durability is my only concern.

Yeah, we won't get screwed too bad because its a short contract, but we gave Rowand a bunch of money coming off his career year and got a 4th OF. I get nervous when a guy has one good season and then gets paid. I think our pitching coaches will help him continue being a top tier guy though. Good signing.

Should be going after A's players, looks like they are dumping their players again.

That would be a great signing. But yea, the way Kapler manages it seems he's going to maximize matchups and rotate guys in/out of that spot a lot.

I am not really a fan of the universal DH but it is what it is.

So many players in the past I wish we would've got

I think Eric Byrnes was the one I wanted the most. The dude had Giant written all over him

Ultimately he was a mediocre player, so we didn't miss much.

Carlos Martinez a Giant.

Good luck to him. He is either electric and on point or you have no f**king clue what he is doing.

From his IG

Not the signing I was looking for, but still good.

extra pitching depth is always a plus.

The way our pitching suffers injuries, it indeed helps. Of course this guy has an injury history too lol.
Love the Martinez signing. If he can be anything close to what he was, we have a major steal on our hands.
Cool guy
