Finally did something
I can't believe it still this rotation will be lethal again in 2026. Hopefully the offense will bounce back
Lets go!!
Huge win, especially when you think we kept our number 1 prospect and not to many pitching prospects
dosent matter if they have best pitching this offense is still bad
I really don't like giving up Fien and Fitz-gerald but Gore has started at least 27 games the last 3 years. If he can do that the next two I suppose it will be worth it. Brice do you think Young will still sign another pitcher? What do you think about Rocker in the being used out of the bullpen?
Mike Maddux will be missed tho..he was a big reason for why the pitching staff over performed!
Does this move take the possibility of adding a free agent pitcher to the rotation out of the equation?
Now, go out and spend on power arm relievers.
The lineup still blows
Can’t wait for opening day
