Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket Guests Posted November 30, 2016 Posted November 30, 2016 Verrett traded for cash, clearing space on 40... for what???
Benjamin Grimm Old-Timey Member Posted November 30, 2016 Posted November 30, 2016 Probably a free-agent relief pitcher.Or if not that, then Giancarlo Stanton.
Centerfield Old-Timey Member Posted November 30, 2016 Posted November 30, 2016 Kinda surprising seeing as how we lost Colon. You'd think a guy like Verrett might be insurance in case we don't add anyone. Maybe they feel we have enough in Lugo/Gsellman. How much did we get?

TransMonk Old-Timey Member Posted November 30, 2016 Posted November 30, 2016 I'm hoping this means they are optimistic about the health of Harvey, Matz, Wheeler, et al.
Benjamin Grimm Old-Timey Member Posted November 30, 2016 Posted November 30, 2016 I think it means that Verrett has been eclipsed by Gsellman and Lugo.
Lefty Specialist Old-Timey Member Posted November 30, 2016 Posted November 30, 2016 Gotta pay for that Cespedes contract somehow, I guess.
seawolf17 Old-Timey Member Posted November 30, 2016 Posted November 30, 2016 Odd move, but counting on Logan Verrett isn't a championship-level move for us, honestly. Had good flashes, but dude was 3-8, 5.20 last year. Best wishes in your new adventure, Logan.
Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Guests Posted November 30, 2016 Posted November 30, 2016 4-5 decent-to-good starts over two years, a bunch more not-so-decent ones, and a whole lotta hard-hit balls.He seems to be what he is, and has been. Vaya con Buck, buddy.
