Right-handed reliever Chris Martin and the Boston Red Sox are in agreement on a two-year, $17.5 million contract, pending physical, sources familiar with the deal tell ESPN. Martin, 36, was magnificent for the Dodgers after a deadline trade and parlayed it into a multiyear deal.

I reckon you'll be fine as long as we win. Just like this postseason.Farmer1906 said:If Maldy is getting the bulk of the starts in the postseason after Contreras is shown to be competent and there are no other injuries, then I am going to lose it.Deluxe said:No one on here loves Maldy more than me. The answer to your question is we don't know yet.MosesHallRAB04 said:
Maldy started almost every game in the playoffs over Vasquez. What makes you think dusty would catch Contreras over maldy in the playoffs. It's very clear maldy is the guy with how he handles the staff.
Contreras would have a spring + full season to work with our staff. If he makes big strides with his staff handling capabilities and our pitchers trust him, he has a chance to split time with Maldy behind the plate in October. If not, Maldy will still get the bulk of the starts.
We're obviously gonna throw Maldy to the scrap heap if he's healthy, but Contreras can earn a bigger portion of the reps.
Yes, I know this is a hypothetical playoff decision about a player not yet on the team, but still. I would lose it.
The Astros claimed infielder Rylan Bannon off waivers from the Chicago Cubs today.

Not quite the AAV of the Montero deal, but getting up there.

****ing Arlington Rangers keep screwing up the market. They are a bunch of wankers. They did the same with Alex Rodriguez all those years ago.

Maybe I think this way because he's in the NL and I don't see him all that much but I'm not a big fan of DeGrom.
Doesn't really love the needle for me and especially at $37mm per.
Really excited for our Director of Analytics, @ConnorDwyer8 as he has accepted an offer to join the Houston @astros and their Baseball Operations team. #ProRams #WhosNext pic.twitter.com/QdkoM3YKgH

You say that likes it's a bad thing. How many pitchers have 3 seasons above 200 IP? It's becoming more and more rare. He was a modern workhorse before 2020.
