New mailbag, who dis?
I’m thinking it would be a good idea to do a mail bag later on this week, which means that I’m going to need some questions to answer. Submit yours in the comments below!
Keep in mind, however, that the ability to post comments is for paid subscribers only.
Yes, this is a way to hopefully entice some people to upgrade to a paid membership. And yes, I’m sorry to have to do it this way, because I am very aware of the state of the world and how difficult finances are for a lot of people right now. Believe me! Just please know that I genuinely love and appreciate everyone who has signed up so far this week, paid or otherwise. (I must say, however, that I’ve learned over the last few years that limiting the comments to paying customers only makes for a much more respectful and inviting forum than otherwise — perhaps something else to consider if you’re on the fence. Join us!)
Would you be ok signing Bauer if we also got cup holders?
Given the injury and/or inconsistency concerns with all of the team's current projected starting pitchers, are you comfortable with the team rolling the dice and signing multiple rebound candidates (Quintana, Paxton, Kluber) and trying to get full-ish seasons out of 3 starts combined with partial seasons from 4? Is this a viable fallback plan in the event they can't sign Bauer or Sugano, or complete a trade for starting pitcher?
