93-95 with a slider. Delivery seems like it would be hard on righties

Continuing the trend of the Red Sox, Rays and Dodgers all wanting the exact same pitchers.

Huh. A relief pitcher from the Dodgers. That seems… inauspicious?

So... - Sox DFA Brasier - Dodgers acquire Brasier - Dodgers get rid of Scott instead of Brasier - Sox acquire Scott Not that either move is likely to be significant, but that sequence of events would lead me to believe that if a loser emerges from this bottom-of-the-roster management it will be the Sox. That's a hell of a hot take. They dump fan favorite Ryan Brasier, and then a month later acquire some waiver wire reliever while they have room to spare on the 40, therefore Chaim Bloom is a loser. Are there any WEEI talent scouts lurking? |

That's a hell of a hot take. They dump fan favorite Ryan Brasier, and then a month later acquire some waiver wire reliever while they have room to spare on the 40, therefore Chaim Bloom is a loser. Are there any WEEI talent scouts lurking? That escalated quickly. Again probably amounts to nothing, but if the Dodgers got to see the guy you DFA'd side-by-side with Scott and they decided to dump Scott, could you not infer something from that assessment? That's less of a hot take and more of a logic test: Brasier < mlb player Scott < Brasier Scott < [fill in the blank] The Red Sox presumably disagree with the Dodgers on which of those players is better. That dynamic is not much different than when they claim any other player on waivers or sign a free agent or make a trade--all of those transactions imply that they're higher on the player than the rest of the league is. Maybe they'll be right, maybe they'll be wrong, we'll see! |

Scott was DFA'ed after pitching 3 times in 4 days while the Dodgers pen was gassed and they needed a fresh arm. That's life for a reliever of his caliber.

I am skeptical of any pitching cast-offs from LAD, TAM or CLE.
