Grichuk had a small sample of amazing production last year. Unclear if it was due to real improvement or just small sample luck.
Personally, if i was granted supreme power of the pirates and was told I have 20 million to spend, I would almost sign both Grichuk and Verdugo. I imagine there still being enough to sign a 5 million dollar lefty reliever.
With how much cutch is gonna sit and the lack of hitting depth, I just want bats.
Grichuk comes complete with "overlapping with Cherington in Toronto." We all know Ben cant resist a good Tor connection.
If the options are to just pick one of that duo, give me Grichuk. He at least has a small sample of good success last yr to dream on.

I’d actually really like this option, good call by Cherington if he’s going after him. I didn’t realize Grichuck had such a good year last year.
A 140 OPS+ with this statcast page looks incredible to me:

He’s 33 years old. Players rarely if ever “figure something out” that late in their career. Would be just another underwhelming signing in my opinion
I’d be fine with this
