What happened to 7 for $30m? Hometown discount... Hopefully Fried wants to stay here as much as Nola wanted to stay in Philly.

Is Nola even that good? He's a real good pitcher and an inning eater, a nice combination, but for that kind of money? And you're getting his age 31 through 38 seasons? No thanks.

"He's a real good pitcher and an inning eater, a nice combination"... Yea... that's what pitchers which you just described get paid. Oh, and he hardly ever is on the IL as well. Sounds like you want something for nothing. Ain't gonna happen.

I had to take a look.......Nola one of the top 10 pitchers in the game for the next 7 years?
I wouldn't bet on that.
And Charlie "I don't do the playoffs" Morton 15th highest paid SP in all of baseball? tsk tsk tsk..........

lol The Braves will end up signing a 3rd tier vet coming off TJS on a one year prove it deal. I mentioned Jack Flaherty awhile back and I'm feeling that vibe even more. He just seems so much like the kind of guy we go after--he was really good at one point and has issues for several years.....like the kind of guy we would take on as a project. I've always hated him since the playoffs in 2019 when the Cardinals scored eleventy billion runs in the first inning of that series deciding game 5--back then he had the best control in all of baseball, and that day he was razor sharp......and then in the 5th inning he plunked Acuna up high. In that series Acuna was having words with Yadier Molina,Carlos Martinez and a few other players. I thought that was one of the most chickenpoop things I've ever seen in all of sports, to go head hunting with a 13-0 lead in a series deciding game.
On the bright side, that was the year that idiot Mike Schildt for brains had that big rant after that game in the clubhouse, cussing us and yelling "that's the way we roll" or something like that, warning the league they were going to fack up everybody they played after that.....then they got trampled by the Gnats in a sweep in the next series. Randy Arozerena filmed that rant on his phone and it went public--the Cardinals traded him they were so mad at him for doing that. At that point he wasn't doing much on the field for the Cardinals, so they traded him for Matthew Liberatore, a highly regarded lefty SP who to this day has only pitched 88 big league innings with a 5.50 ERA, and had a 6.00 ERA in AAA ball in 2022. Pretty much a sure bust.
And we are laughing.
It was one of several disastrous moves the Cardinals have made in the last 4-5 years.

Mets sign Luis Severino to a one year $13m deal. A lotta money for a project. Typical Mets move at throwing money at anything that sticks. Probably has pitched 200 innings since 2019... Smh.

I knew the Met's changing their ways was going to last 6 mos at best. Owners like that don't have the patience to build. He promised he would change and follow more of the Braves model and I promised that 6 mos into it he would think he could start buying a team again. I win

I win Severino is a risk, that's a lot of money, and now that he's signed with the Mutts he's almost guaranteed to implode. It's what the Mutts and their players do.
