wasn't free.. he would have cost 5 million if I am remembering.. but I wouldn't have cared.. 10 million or less in baseball is equivalent to two hookers and a donkey in Vegas for MState

Both Soroka and Canning would have the team ending at the same result: needing a starter at the deadline. Canning isn’t going to last and a competing team that didn’t have much money to spend using $10M on Soroka would have been extremely stupid. I think Canning would’ve been the much better bet and I prob would’ve kept him at $5M especially since the rest of the offseason included zero SP additions. Elder should not be seeing major league starts anymore but neither Soroka nor Canning should be pitching important innings either. AA has work to do and is probably regretting letting Canning go in hindsight (simply bc he couldn’t find a SP to add) but Soroka at $10M was obviously not the right call for this team.

I doubt he keeps surpressing homeruns like he has so far. That's the difference in the 30 innings this year and the rest of his career.

If Elders new sinker grip holds up, then we probably played it correctly. But at the time I’d have kept Canning

Andres Munoz of the Mariners has been so good this year that his ERA+ is infinity (or doesn't exist if you want to get technical).

AJ Minter out for the year with a lat injury.
