Nice...Graveman back in blue and orange

Is he a rental again?
One more year after this one


The year next year is why he wasn't resigned here. Click didn't want to give it to him and instead signed Neris. Once again click was spot on. Neris has been a little better.

Here is how Graveman has been. Solid. Not great.

When he left the sinker usage dropped way down even though that was one of his best pitches. I wonder if the Astros make a few tweaks and get him back to a high level like 2021.

GB% is way down this year. Previously has been around 55% and this year its only at 39%.

xERA is 4.32 and his HR/9 are way up and his K/9 are down.

Lee was not who I expected going over there…. Thought he'd be in a bigger deal

Wow. He's ranked fairly high on prospect boards, but I don't think he's actually that good.

I don't mind sending Lee

He never impressed me and at best was relegated to backup catcher for Yanier.

Basically a backup catcher at best for a controllable BP arm. Not bad

Lee wasn't a long-term option here with Diaz's emergence anyway, seems like. This leaves Meyers for another deal hopefully.

The sound off the bat!!!
Time to pull him up and see what he can do now.


"He'S NoT oN tHe 40 MaN rOsTEr" - somebody on here probably

He isn't…and I don't see us changing the 40man days before the deadline where we very well might trade away more than we acquire naturally clearing space. Also whoever was DFA'd loses value if they could have just been signed on waivers

Cory Lee is now 25. This will be his third year in AAA. His OPS is in the mid to low 700s. He hasn't had a season in AAA with an OPS in the 800s.

I wonder is Graveman will be visibly upset that he is being traded this time?

Okay so one move down … Not a game changer, but I think it's a decent move.

Losing Lee I dont think will be that big of a deal as long as Diaz lives up to potential

Y'all stop. Maldy will be catching. They won't even let Diaz start a game for Framber. A new guy won't be able to come in and provide the "game calling" that Maldy does.

I knew SD was in trouble but never realized just how much trouble they were in contract wise.

Baseball reference contract estimates put them at $210MM, $300MM, $315MM and $300MM the next 4 years. They are in payroll hell and way underperforming what is costing.
the Padres have no one to blame but themselves.

and we tried to warn them.

it's insane to have that kind of money committed 3 years from now. And Tatis' huge salary won't have kicked in yet

I don't know where this idea about DFAing Maldy has come from, but it's quite annoying. It's never going to happen

Should be Martinez …. But I'd imagine Mushinski will.

Hopefully him instead of Parker Mushinski, but it'll likely be Parker.

The only real "miss" we had was not extending Charlie Morton.

Springer, Correa, Keuchel, Osuna, Cole (too expensive to justify) we all hit on not keeping

Wonder if the Dodgers tried pursuing Graveman instead of Joe Kelly? Graveman is better than Kelly imo. A reunion for Kelly with the Dodgers probably was the reason they traded for him.
