According to Robert Murray, formerly of The Athletic, the Dodgers and Padres are among the teams showing interest in Indians starter Mike Clevinger.

 

Murray adds, however, that the asking price right now is "sky high." Clevinger was limited to 21 starts in 2019 due to back and ankle injuries, but he registered an excellent 2.71 ERA with 169 strikeouts in 126 innings when healthy, and he also had a 3.05 ERA with 344 strikeouts in 321 2/3 innings between 2017-2018. The 28-year-old right-hander is currently under the Indians' control through the 2022 campaign.

The Southsiders re-signed Ross Detwiler, he had a 6.59 ERA in 2019, but don't get too excited, FIP says that's generous clocking in at 6.92.

 

Only a minor league deal though, so he might want to keep that spring training ERA a tad below 6 if he wants to make the club.

 

Just thinking about how a similar re-signing would be received on our site, makes me laugh at what kind of non-sense is going on at White Sox message boards.

They probably had similar fun when MN signed Perez to a major league contract last offseason, or when the Twins brought in Anibal Sanchez for a look during spring in a previous year. The Sox are still going after Ryu, and they've already landed Grandal; that fan base is probably a little less agitated than we are at the moment.

I have a suggestion for Mike, to save wear-and-tear on his aching ankle: stop fidgeting around during your windup. :)

Yeah with Julio Teheran and Gio Gonzalez off the board, I don’t know who that leaves after Keuchel and Ryu. Homer Bailey maybe. I may be missing one or two. But basically just minor league signings with invitations to camp, those types of guys. But let’s wait until April 15th until we pass judgment.

You might get a .500 record out of Teheran.

Offseason topic from last year. Do you think the Yankees are going to get value from extending Aaron Hicks 7 years? This is an injury proned player

 

Year 1 of 7 and he only played in 59 games and he his bat wasn't what it was the 1st 2 years he was with the Yanks and now he is entering his age 30 season.  I will always have a soft spot for Aaron and glad he got paid, but I can't imagine that contract will ever be looked at as a wise investment.

 7 always seemed like too much, but maybe they could peanut butter the costs better that way.

Yup. It's 7 years, but it's an unusual 7 year deal. $10 mil a year? With only 1 arb year? Hicks doesn't have to do *that* much to be worth that deal from the Yankees. He could even get cut or salary dumped the last couple years and still be worth it, overall.
