I guess it wouldn't be the off-season with AA in charge if we didn't give big contracts to okay relievers while ignoring huge holes in our starting pitching and LF.

I don't hate the addition to the pen, the contract is pretty crazy though.

I think we all like it but we're just waiting to see what gets left unaddressed as a (partial) result of it

Can't say I like it particularly, that's a huge risk contract for a guy that wasn't particularly impressive coming back from Tommy John last year.

He had a FIP of 3.87 and an xERA of 4.37, and his stuff was grading much worse than in 2024.

On plus side his velocity was fine and his K rate was good, but he was giving up a ton of hard contact. I don't want to touch a guy like that for 3 years with his injury history and going into his mid 30s.

Hopefully he bounces back. I'm guessing this also means we are seeing Didier in the rotation.
