thank you for the context and the article - in general it seems like the transition to the MLB ball in AAA cuts down on spin rates - are teams confident that pitchers will recover their stuff with more reps?

the other thing I ought to point out is that those metrics in the article might be from AA/A+, not AAA - but you can see it's not that big a sample size

50% of Mounty PA he gets nailed by a called strike down or outside and he leans back and sticks his pelvis forward to protest / anyway he might benefit from a challenge or two but it doesn't help that he has Adam Jones syndrome and will go fishing with two strikes like his life depends on it

10,000 other people have said this, but they had him for 4 years! they didn't think Grayson would amount to more than ~3 fWAR in 4 years? on a team that was running out multiple corpses in the rotation last year? what??

Trading for a one year RHH OF when they had Laureano effectively means going forward they like Bateman more than Grayson? Am I hearing that right?

There is so little upside to this trade that the best way this works out is if they QO him and draft a guy with a CB-B who becomes Grayson Rodriguez

Bradish putting up a 3-win season as the median also seems very bullish. I'm not saying it can't happen because if he throws like 2024/2025 over 140+ frames he gets there easily - but for a median projection, that's a great sign

we've seen pitchers' stuff back up in AAA with the transition to the MLB/AAA ball - how do teams scout, acquire, and plan for this? I've heard the same happens between high school and college fwiw
I've asked this question around, sorry if it's a repeat!

whoops you already covered this bsky.app/profile/orio...
That's a little over $30M from the 2025 payroll off the books just from arb guys. They'll save $30M more from Sugano and Morton departing. Several others on smaller contracts. Oh and I missed O'Hearn ($8M) above.

>Lotta open payroll.
for better or worse, the team is willing to expand at least single year payroll and there's >$40M coming off the books from 2025 FA between Sugano/Sanchez/Gibson/Morton/Kitt
can't wait to see what RR pulls for initial 2026 estimate
