Can't imagine it's too big. Also Tyler may be the first to do so between teams from the same "city". not since Tungsten-Arm O'Doyle signed with the St. Louis Browns, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 I’d imagine it would either need to be a humongous contract or a weird hometown end of the career deal, the equivalent of Messi going to play for Newell’s Old Boys after leaving PSG.

RIPPA Posted November 16, 2022 Author Share Posted November 16, 2022 Bryce Harper is having UCL surgery (unclear if it is Tommy John or not) Not great but not as terrible when it is for a pitcher. For frame of reference - when Shohei Ontani had his surgery (Oct 2018) - he was able to play as a DH the beginning of May 2019 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macko was injured in High A but before the injury had 60 strikeouts in 38 innings. There's some potential there (I think MLB.com already has him in Toronto's top 10) but I wouldn't expect to see him in 2023. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianS81177 Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Mariners trade 2020 ROTY Kyle Lewis to Arizona for C/OF Cooper Hummel. Lewis was probably gonna be non-tendered anyway. Dude's knees are shot. He's appeared in 54 games the past 2 season. Can't stay healthy, can't play OF anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
