Official Game Thread - 5/25 - Bucs vs Cubs

Who was the guy they signed a couple of years ago who mysteriously came down with an injury and never left Florida after spring training?



Now I remember, Lonnie Chisenhall. 2.75 million and he never played a game.

Rocker vs Leiter as it now stands.

A normal draft is full of uncertainty, but this year you have the added factor that most (all?) of the prospects didn't play last year.



One less season of evaluation.

Anyone subscribe to The Athletic?

The focus of the article was on how much money Cutch would have made had he entered free agency straight out of arbitration. He would have been 28, in his prime and perhaps the best free agent available. The free agent years the Pirates bought out saw the beginning of his decline.

That will be his best, and only, shot at a good free agency contract (depending on how he does between now and FA). Even a two year extension could push him past that windo...
