Summary
Segment 1 – News and Notes
1.The Braves acquire Chris Sale from the Red Sox for Vaughn Grissom.
a.After several difficult seasons, Sale was better in 2023. He was a tad healthier, starting 20 games with 4.30 ERA (3.71 xERA) with nearly 11 K’s per nine and a walk rate of 2.5. He’s going into his 35th year. What can we expect in 2024?
b.He’s going as the 70th pitcher off the board, #50th or so starter. Any interest?
c.Vaughn Grissom was blocked, and this does give him new life. His current ADP is 539 and is likely to go up. What round would you be grabbing him?
i.The data shows he’s more of a line drive hitter with solid speed (far from elite – 59% percentile), below-average exit velos, and excellent contact, but an overly aggressive approach.
2.The Reds sign Frankie Montas to a one-year $16 million deal. He missed most of last season but has shown flashes. What can we expect from him in 2024?
a.ADP is 533, or the 147th pitcher off the board.
3.The Red Sox signed Lucas Giolito to a two-year $38.5 million contract. It’s been a tough couple of years for him. He’s going as the 86th pitcher off the board – likely the 60th starter off the board. Any interest?
4.The Yankees acquired Cody Morris from the Guardians for Estevan Florial.
a.Any thoughts on this trade?
