We improved this off season but what the Dodgers have done just a gigantic arms race.

No salary cap really feels like it's jacking with the integrity of the game at this point. But it'll be fun to see the Dodgers lose.

You can mark this down as the most Detroit Tiger move of the off season. Talk about paying for the outlier year.

Year ERA WHIP
2108 10.69 2.00
2019 8.59 1.977
2020 Opted Out Due to COVID Rules
2021 8.44 2.132
2022 6.43 1.286
2023 1.71 0.905 (Dodgers miracle)

Their batting order is a nightmare but their pitching staff is highly suspect.

Some really old guys, some younger guys who are dealing with arm problems, Glasnow who puts the "glass" in Glasnow, and the new Japanese signing, star pitcher signings from Japan have been very hit or miss... mostly miss.

The Glasnow hype I especially don't get. His career ERA is 3.89, 9 years into his career and he's never even sniffed 150 innings, only over 90 once.

BREAKING: Right-hander Lucas Giolito and the Boston Red Sox are in agreement on a two-year, $38.5 million contract that includes an opt-out after the first season, sources tell ESPN.

Boston lands its first big signing of the winter. The question now is: Will there be more?

Giolito went 2-9 with a 7.04 ERA with the Angels and Guardians the last two months of the season.

@BNightengale

The Cincinnati Reds, vying for their first NL Central title since 2012, sign veteran Frankie Montas to one-year, $16 million contract.

Going from Sale to Giolito is a downgrade and nearly the same cost. Wild
