What a great deal for Arizona. He is so much better than his 2025 ERA. He’ll turn in a great season for them on this team friendly deal. And they have Burnes returning to their rotation mid season. They are building a nice roster in Arizona.

This was probably always going to be the outcome. The QO was going to cost someone (except Arizona) a high draft pick plus his salary. This way Arizona gets what they were going to pay for him anyway on a 1 year deal and Gallen is free from future QO penalties. U

Where was SloMo? Sorting his Easter scarves? Mo asleep at the wheel again? Did DeWallet tell him "NO"?

Would have looked nice in Cardinal red. But no, let's go with Pallante and a bunch of minor league pitchers. :roll: How in the world could the Cards afford him? :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

In addition to a payroll cap MLB needs to end deferred contracts. You want him now you pay him now.
