C. P. F. He went to West Jefferson High School in Ohio, was drafted by the Los Angeles Dodgers

in the 38th round of the 2014 MLB June amateur draft and he said yeah it works usually you see that they say no well go to college

He said no I'll come play with you guys he did and he's been in the Dodgers

Bullpen for a couple years now

Dodgers got some other no names you wouldn't know about foreign players and they needed to make room for them so they traded the

Yeah, I mean there's a little bit of I don't want to say

there's a little bit of why would the Dodgers trade Caleb Ferguson because there's a lot of good stuff on the resume I mean he's on the last year of his contract so maybe the Dodgers like we've seen the Yankees doing other deals are just looking at value years and transactions and bullpen pieces are volatile and

versatile and other V words but Caleb Ferguson he's had a really strong

MLB career since 2018 he got called up a 21-year-old.

Pitching for the Dodgers, he's pitching playoff games, he's been on a lot of winning ball clubs. His 2022. 37 games a 182 ERA. Give me some of that.

And then last year I mean 60.1 innings pitched 70 strikeouts a 343 ERA and our earliest and easiest butter knife Jim

because they had him open a couple games? Yes. He got in

6.2 innings he got hit around a little bit as the opener. Didn't like it.
