Bulk reliever, maybe?
Are the Red Sox out on McHugh?

Chaim needs to make a move soon just so there's really something worthwhile to discuss. Haven't had that since the Renfroe/JBJ + Binelas + Hamilton was dissected to death. Your command has been answered MATT STRAHM BABY LETS GOOOOOO I think this might free up Austin Davis in a trade. Similar type of pitcher. Red Sox stats has been floating around JD Davis rumors to the Sox and the Mets are looking for lefty relievers. |

Your command has been answered MATT STRAHM BABY LETS GOOOOOO lol. Not exactly what I had in mind.....but he's probably an improvement on Austin Davis. Strahm has been good in even years (although he outperformed his FIP by a lot in 2020), so maybe he can be useful in 2022 if they use him as a lefty specialist (can't say LOOGY anymore). I'll guess Strahm's acquisition didn't break the bank. |

I'd think if Davis and Strahm are similar the Mets would have simply have signed Strahm rather than looking to give up talent to get Davis? |

Unless they like Davis more because he's healthy. Strahm coming off knee surgery. JD Davis has not been discussed in this thread but Red Sox stats mentioned he has a 130 +wRC his last 1300 at bats. That might be at least a 2 win improvement over Bobby Dalbec in a full season. Davis would also be a good fill in LF/DH and a good guy to ease Casas into a major league role (platoon in the big leagues). |

He had patella tendon surgery October 2020, starts his minor league rehab July 2021 and then is shut down with knee inflammation after 9 games. That's a little scary.
Certainly looked like a solid major league piece before the knee injury. It looks like his stuff made it back last year.

In OOTP he has 67 Stuff, 54 Movement, 79 Control, and 35 Stamina. Compare to Austin Davis at 72/49/48 20. I can dig it  Also, sorry to ask this here, but Twitter cards on this forum never show up for me; I just see a blank post. I know Firefox's strict tracking protection causes this, but I don't want to disable it. Does anyone know if there's a way to make tweets show up as urls instead, or something? |

If he's healthy Strahm can help. His control is pretty good. He gives up the long ball, but who doesn't these days?

I like the Diekman move depending on the money but this deal I'm not sure I like. Seems like a waste of money just to upgrade Austin Davis. Strahm in Fenway could be a nightmare on a windy night.

I also use Firefox and it usually takes me a minute to see the tweets. I don't have it on full security mode, so maybe if you do that's something you can change in the settings for this website, if it's important enough to you.

I do like it when the new guys have some defining physical trait.

Is this guy going to be a character? My review of the signing will be much higher if he is a flake. We need a few guys we can laugh with.

Possible flower child or hair makes him Sampsonesqe. In any case, No threat to lose him to Yankees. |

Only current MLB player from North Dakota, if I'm not mistaken.
His youtube videos are strangely mesmerizing...
