The Jake Odiorizzi steal of a trade last off season has me a little optimistic that this off season can be salvaged. It honestly might be better to get rid of one of the surplus talents we have in the minors to attain a younger arm (such as Odiorizzi) with a couple years of team control. That may end up the better play than all the other SP FA signings outside of Cole, Strasberg, and Wheeler (MadBum, Ryu, and Keurchel all have wear and tear on their arms and/or injury risk)

Not sure if your an Athletic subscriber, but Aaron Gleeman had a really interesting breakdown on his inverse splits. He actually holds left handed hitting to a lower batting average than right handed hitters given the types of pitches and location of his pitches.

Offer Eddie Rosario and Brent Rooker to the Mets for noah syndergaard

I recall his first year was actually not that bad. Second year. oh boy.

Good news. I bet he takes it.
