The Orioles signed longtime NPB star Tomoyuki Sugano to a one-year contract on Monday evening. Sugano, a client of VC Sports Group, is reportedly guaranteed $13MM. Baltimore had an opening on the 40-man roster, so no additional move was necessary.
Sugano makes the jump to Major League Baseball for the first time in what’ll be his age-35 season. He’s one of Japan’s most accomplished pitchers. The 6’1″ right-hander spent 12 years with the Yomiuri Giants in his home country. He posted a 2.43 earned run average in more than 1800 innings at the NPB level.
Major league scouts have followed Sugano for some time. He first appeared on many fans’ radars when the Yomiuri Giants made him available via the posting system during the 2020-21 offseason. Sugano was coming off a 1.97 ERA showing in his age-30 season. While he certainly attracted attention from big league clubs, he didn’t find a deal that compelled him to leave Japan. Instead, Sugano returned to the Giants on a four-year deal that paid him $40MM.
That contract allowed Sugano to opt out after each season, potentially clearing a path for him to make the move to MLB. He was evidently happy with his longtime club and decided not to take any of the early outs. Once the four-year term concluded, his camp made clear he intended to sign with an MLB team this offseason. Sugano had surpassed the nine years of NPB service time necessary to qualify for international free agency. Yomiuri will not receive any compensation for his departure, nor will the deal cost the Orioles anything other than the player’s salary.f
Despite his age, Sugano is coming off one of his strongest seasons. He turned in a 1.67 ERA across 156 2/3 innings spanning 24 starts. It’s the second-lowest ERA of his career and earned him the NPB’s Central League MVP award for the third time. That’s not to say he’s still at his absolute peak form, however. Sugano only threw 77 2/3 innings during the 2023 season, reportedly on account of an elbow injury. His swing-and-miss rates have also dropped significantly compared to earlier years. Sugano struck out 18.3% of batters faced this year — well off the 24-26% range he’d posted in his late 20s.
Sugano’s NPB strikeout rate was about four percentage points lower than the 22% MLB average for starting pitchers. Many NPB hitters adopt a more contact-oriented approach than is common in the big leagues, so perhaps he’ll miss a few more bats in the majors. Sugano doesn’t have the same upside he would’ve brought a few seasons ago, though. Baseball America’s scouting report notes that his fastball velocity has dipped into the 92-93 MPH range after sitting somewhere between 94-96 MPH earlier in his career.
While the pure stuff has dropped as he’s aged and battled injury, Sugano has thrived thanks to his feel for pitching. That’s most evident in his excellent command. Sugano only walked 16 hitters all season, a microscopic 2.6% rate that’s lower than what any MLB starter managed this year (minimum 100 innings). That should rise slightly as he faces more patient hitters, but it’s fair to project Sugano for plus or better command.
Baseball America writes that Sugano indeed profiles as a control-oriented fourth or fifth starter. The outlet credits him with a five-pitch mix headlined by an above-average slider and splitter. Fans are encouraged to read BA’s full column, which also includes updated scouting reports on other prominent NPB and KBO players who are available to MLB teams (i.e. Roki Sasaki, Shinnosuke Ogasawara, Hyeseong Kim and Koyo Aoyagi).
The contract aligns with MLBTR’s prediction of one year and $12MM. It values Sugano as a capable back-end starter. Alex Cobb signed for $15MM with the Tigers last week. Late-career innings eaters Lance Lynn ($11MM) and Kyle Gibson ($13MM) got similar one-year deals with the Cardinals last offseason.
Sugano is a needed rotation upgrade for GM Mike Elias and his front office. The O’s should continue searching for higher-upside arms in the coming weeks. Sugano slots behind Zach Eflin and Grayson Rodriguez in the projected rotation. Dean Kremer, Trevor Rogers, Albert Suarez and youngsters Cade Povich and Chayce McDermott are options for the final two spots. The rotation remains Baltimore’s biggest question mark.
Sugano is the third highest-paid player on the roster, narrowly trailing Eflin ($18MM) and newly signed outfielder Tyler O’Neill ($16.5MM). Their player payroll is up to $134MM, as calculated by RosterResource. It’s not clear how far they’re willing to push spending in the first offseason under the David Rubenstein ownership group.

They heard the noise
Nice low risk add for the Orioles. If Dave Dombrowski were alive he would be impressed.
Underrated comment. Also RIP Alex Anthopolous.
They must vacation together
I must have missed the press release stating the season now starts on December 17th.
13 mil is high risk especially for a team like the orioles who don’t have the infinite money glitch
Also RIP Andrew Friedman
For one year? Nah.
The Orioles current bar for $13 million is Craig Kimbrel…the bar is not high at this time
Burnes got 15.9 million in 2024. Eflin will make 18 million in 2025
I laughed.
Is this the big signing you have been telling me about?
Probably not since he projects as more of a back-of-the-rotation innings eater type than a Burnes replacement.
But what if it is?
I kinda think it is. The Orioles have a full rotation at this point.
Wrong as usual lol.
You have summed up my frustration with Dumbrowski forever and a day.
Grats
Oh interesting. Good on the O’s! I’ll be interested to see how he does. The dude is plenty experienced.
Welp, didn’t see this one coming. 35 years old? I’m scratching my head on this one.
1.67 ERA and 156 innings in Japan last year. Cheap deal for someone who may have another year left in the tank
@os1995. I can see him putting up similar numbers to kikuchi worse case scenario.
It’s a one year deal. Great low risk move with plenty of upside potential
man that could turn out to be a deal – 13mm is nothing on the market for a guy that could be all star caliber if he adjusts well to mlb
His strikeout rate was like 18% in Japan iirc. That’s not likely to turn into an all star
His walk rate is very minimal though also. After looking at it, I could find worse ways to spend 13 million.
people said the same thing about imanaga when he came over – his strikeout rate was slightly higher but a number of teams passed on him because they didn’t have confidence for the very same reason
Imanaga had an NPB K/9 of 9.2 the three years before he came to MLB… Sugano’s is 6.2.
You don’t have to strike everybody out to be a successful pitcher
His NPB K/9 the last three years was under 6.3. Even if he was that successful in MLB (which is highly unlikely) that ranks him at the very bottom of MLB in the Miles Mikolas and Austin Gomber range.
Yikes. Good luck with that for $13mil a year.
Ironically, both Mikolas and Gomber are solid major league starting pitchers.
Gomber is not $13 million “solid”. Same with Sugano. Watch him be as solid as 2024 Mikolas
If by solid you mean batting practice, then yes I agree with you.
2024 Mikolas was as solid as a wet fart, so yes, I think we agree
Kinda incredible we hit the point where we write a pitcher off based on one stat.
I wonder if this officially closes the door on a Corbin Burnes reunion.
It’s interesting that the Os haven’t been listed as out of it yet. I would love for Elias to pull that rabbit out of his hat before Christmas.
Maybe not. Os still don’t have a TOR. If anything, FO is hoping this one yr deal fills that gap between the opener and when Bradish or Wells or both get back.
Hey Jeff,
Elias and Co got 33 year-old Albert Suárez from the Korean League last offseason and he saved the pitching staff working in both relief and then starting.
I don’t know ifs American kids were looking at his Korean stats and figuring out what he would do in the ML based on them.
–
I saw your post a few days ago somewhere stating that maybe the O’s didn’t need a ace pitcher. I agreed with that.
–
MLB is now a bullpen game. When a small market team goes out and commits $25-35m a year on a long term contract to get an ace pitcher, the odds are overwhelming that at some point he’ll either need surgery where he’s out for an expended time, or he goes downhill and the team is stuck with an upside down contract. Large market teams can eat those. Some of the bigger mid-market teams can work their way through it. But most mid-market teams and all small market teams are going to be handcuffed the years the pitcher is healing.
–
We’ve seen the last 10-15 years that teams have to build their own bullpens. Signing FA bullpenners to large multi-year contracts seldom works out. The O’s have a nice bullpen, which they pretty much have developed. Now they’re working on their younger starting pitchers (they’ve developed Rodriguez, Kremer, Bradish and Wells…….health is the issue. It’s the approach that successful small market teams have to take as we’ve seen with the Guardians, Rays, and Brewers.
–
The offseason is fun as we speculate on what will happen during the coming season. But by May 1 almost all the obvious narratives prove to be wrong. It’s always about teams that make the players they have under contract better. Even a little bit better. Get 8-10 players on a team to improve just a bit, and another one or two to have unexpected good seasons has a cumulative effect. That can offset a few getting injured or heading south. Happens all the time. Local fans love a winning team a lot more when either the players came through their system, or came over from another team where they never really established themselves. They blossom with the home team (think Ryan O’Hearn….Frank Robinson. The players are jacked and the fans see them as one of “Our Guys”….and that makes the team special.
I think the Os are out of it, but this did not impact that at all. I really hope they don’t go to flarety from here or trade for cease. Burnes is still the best fit but I don’t think they can compete with what giants will end op offering or Toronto if they even count
It’s just another shintaro fujinami for the orioles
He might get dfa’d mid season or he has a breakout like shota imanaga
When you don’t know ball
LOL, Sugano is way way better than Fujinami in terms of accomplishment in Japan. Fujinami is never the same pitcher from his rookie years after he asked to be replaced in the 4/5th innings in a rainy game because he’s not feeling well, but the manager choose to handle it old school style (Tomoaki Kanemoto) and saw it as a weakness. So he command Fujinami to throw another innings (7IP & 131 pitches) to teach Fujinami.
Fujinami definitely have raw talent, both he and Shohei Ohtani drafted in the same year, both heralded as a HS pitcher, both can throw 100mph in HS, but the Nippon Ham choose to handle Ohtani workload very careful, while the Hanshin like, naaaah, we dont do that here
Shame Friedman didnt try to take Sugano. He is actually one of my favorite pitcher, and that came from their crosstown rival fan, Yakult Swallows fan LOL. He’s tormented Yakult Swallows fans a lot.
Didn’t his manager resign after that? That was some real boomer sheet making him go back out. Hopefully, the manager’s children don’t speak to him anymore.
Kanemoto? He resign after the 2018 season. The accident happen in June/July 2016. I google it, Fujinami actually pitch 8.1 innings & 161 pitches in that rainy game. Sorry for the error earlier.
Kanemoto himself retired from playing baseball in age 44. 2012 is his las season, and he still starting 126 games that year. Dude playing like, 90-95% of all games each year, even when he’s slighty injured. NPB played 144 games each year, and this Kanemoto guy start like minimum 140 games each year. So, yeah, dude is tough as nail guy. And probably trying to force the same when he is promoted to the manager. But, you know, times change
They need to do more than this though, very low risk high reward move for them. But he is older and also movie to the Mlb, his command should translate but you do wonder if his stuff will play at his age. O’s still need to make a move for an ace-level pitcher and another solid mid rotation or better arm for me to be ok with this.
What a deal
How do these number translate to the big leagues? I’m guessing he’s not an absolute ace, but a solid 2?
More like decent #4 above average #5
Ahh. Figured not a 2 for that money. Thanks
So based on Trashcan’s opinion, its all settled.
Backend.
Neither. Mid-rotation guy. It’s a steal for a guy like that.
Elias saying that he feels they now have a solid rotation and that while they are still in the market if someone falls in their laps, that he is turning to other needs, was something I didn’t expect since they just lost Burnes.
Think he just found out ownership really is not willing to spend money, at least not this year. Optimistic, they are “saving” to spend on Gunnar/possibly some others a year or two later. More likely, they are going to spend similar levels that Angelos did and won’t sign them either. I don’t know about reports that apparently Elias is the one who doesn’t want to spend if those are actually accurate or not.
After what we just witnessed with Soto, unfortunately there is a zero percent chance that Gunnar signs an extension. I would love to be wrong but I don’t think I will be.
I don’t know if it’s fair to say they won’t spend now considering their 4 highest paid guys were all brought in over last year
I believe all extensions ( unless there’s an opt out every year lol) ate a thing of the past for stars , arbitration salaries are high enough now to play it out. Everyone who’s a star player ,the way salaries rude exponentially every year will want to test FA.
*rise not rude
His K/9 the last three seasons in NPB has been 6.2. That would rank him dead last among starting pitchers with Miles Mikolas and Austin Gomber.
I don’t know what the Orioles are thinking here. My guess is he will be DFA’d before the All-Star break.
Lots of guys never make it in bigs that can throw hard but those who can pitch, ya never know. He could be AL roy
Love it!!!!
Nice move Orange Birds!
Now Sasaki will have a fellow countryman to hang out with when he signs with the Orioles!
😉
Seems the new ownership doesn’t want to spend either.
Nice signing! Now can Sasaki come over to Bmore too?
Neat!
Plus it may increase Roki Sasaki’s interest in coming to Charm City.
Love it tbh.
Curious… maybe this is a way to lure
Roki Sasaki to the O’s?
It certainly won’t hurt to have a NPB legend that he probably respects greatly in the clubhouse when he’s thinking about where to sign.
Praying for an Albert Suarez savior.
Strike out rates in NPB tend to be much lower than MLB. Joey Gallo hasn’t signed with an NPB team yet…
Can’t be true. Japanese players are only willing to play on the West Coast and New York.
That is not true.
Seiya and Imanaga signed with Chicago.
Matsuzaka and Yoshida with Boston,
Darvish with Texas.
Kawakami with Atlanta.
I guess you do not follow MLB much.
@mike. They typically visit the west coast teams. He met with the angels, and giants. But yeah it’s funny how people think they follow the say rule book. I bet the angels, and giants had that deal on the table, and he chose Baltimore.
Orioles no longer a poverty team leaving only ATL in that category.
You’re forgetting the Mariners
You mean he didn’t sign with the Dodgers? It must be rigged.
Japanese Greg Maddox. Well that may be an overstatement, but strikeouts can be overrated. I thought this game was supposed to be about results?
Is that Garry’s little brother?
He slots right behind Rogers lol. Could have traded for Crochet, instead they go after a 35 year old who struck out less than a guy per inning… in Japan. And Os fans are ecstatic, classic.
This clown again…
I’m sorry that most O’s fans aren’t crying themselves to sleep at night over missing out on the opportunity to overpay for Crochet and his half-season track record of greatness, but you really need to let it go.
Crochet is just one example, there are many pitchers the Os could go after if they are willing to part with the Norfolk 5… but they (and most Os fans) are so enamored with having a great farm system they seem to forget that the goal is to win the Ws (or at least a playoff series) and their window won’t be open forever.
Not true, but have fun with your narrative or whatever.
Excellent comeback King. Strong points. Did you put your fingers over your ears and hum “nah nah nah” while typing that?
What do you want me to say?
We had this EXACT same discussion only a couple of days ago, wherein I said that I would be completely open to moving Holliday/Mayo/Basallo for the right guy but that I just didn’t see Crochet as the right guy.
Bryce Miller? Sure. Jared Jones? Definitely. But Garrett Crochet? Eh, no thanks.
Listen, I’m glad you are civil and interact, but I have to say I’m surprised that you’d rather have Jones than Crochet. Having said that, my point isn’t that the Os should trade for Crochet, just that their pitching moves have been historically underwhelming under Elias and they have all the resources to make a splash. Even national writers are getting on board and there will be pressure on Elias to use up one of their 5 top 50 prospects to get an actually number 1. Or buy Snell… or fried… or someone. And instead they get a noodle-armed 35 year old Japanese pitcher and Os fans are happy (because Coby Mayo MIGHT be good and we still have him!!!). I just don’t get it.
Have you seen the “noodle-armed” Japanese pitcher pitch? Or were you trying to make a funny?
@EL kabong. This is was probably the guy that called kikuchi a soft tossing pitcher. I got hungry and stopped reading after he was talking about fried noodles.
I have not. He had a lovely ERA in Japan, but the lack of Ks would make me a bit nervous coming over… and being 35 with a fb that tops out at 92. But yeah, I suppose he could be Ohtani or Sasaki if that’s what you’re implying. I just don’t think there’s a huge recent history of success with that profile.
@Rexhudler,
Or maybe one of the people calling Ohtani a bust before the 2021 season.
@bighurt. They said averages at 93mph. It’s 93-95. Your forgetting the part about elite command. I will remind you that ohtani’s fastball has a .300 batting average against it.
@El Kabong. Or literally everyone saying imanaga was old and going to be a bust. Either way sugano has good career numbers. The deal is reasonable especially how the market has been.
Bryce Miller has nasty home road splits he’s a bum outside of Seattle.
Crochet is a stud. And he went to a division rival.
Imanaga was 29 and struck out 188 in 159 IP his last year in Japan. This guy is 35 and struck out 111 in the same number of innings. I don’t care that much about fb, but imo he needs a swing and miss pitch in mlb in 2025 and he doesn’t seem to have one. Feels like they are adding current day Zack Greinke, but we’ll see.
Like Greinke as if he came out of retirement today?
Who knows what this guy does in MLB. This just isn’t the kind of move the Orioles should be making. I would like the signing for some other teams but not them they need an ace and he’s who knows what.
He signed Kyle Gibson heading into a transition year and then traded for Burnes heading into the first true win-now season of his tenure as Orioles GM. Then, during that win-now season, he traded for Eflin, who was arguably the best SP to change hands at last year’s deadline. That isn’t Dodgers-tier splurging obviously, but I wouldn’t go so far as to call it “underwhelming” either.
Also, I doubt Elias cares much what national sports writers think since the overwhelming majority of them have never worked in a MLB FO, much less turned one of the worst organizations in the sport into one of the best.
As for Jones vs. Crochet, I prefer his youth and amount of remaining control, but you, as a White Sox fan, prefer Crochet, and that’s totally understandable. I probably would too if the roles were reversed.
He was a “stud” for half a season, then he ran out of gas.
Glad the Red Sox overpaid for him though, Getz actually came up clutch for White Sox fans for once.
Right. This team has a window to win a World Series and they’re acquiring bounceback candidates. Do they secretly have the 800m to keep Adley and Gunnar there for life.
Gunnar is not signing an extension, will go to FA and get beyond 600 on his own. They may have a slim opportunity to extend Adley but my guess is that he will go to FA as well and his price tag will be up to 300, but I don’t see it exceeding that. So you are in the ballpark for sure.
You’re an idiot
I suppose there are worse ways to spend 13 million in this pitching economy. Certainly wished it was sasaki. Not the pitching addition we need, but it at least gives some depth
Hopefully he throws more pitches for the Orioles than the last time they found a deal in Asia…Tsuyoshi Wada.
That number: zero. He was paid for 2 years though.
Probably his best career start came against the Orioles.
I am not hopeful its anything above a 4-5 starter, again the Orioles going for cheap and hope versus paying for certainty.
Around the same time the Orioles signed Uehara and Chen. Both were decent pitchers. Although the Sox got the best of Uehara
Padres send Cease, Suarez, Arraez and prospect Isaiah Lowe for Mountcastle, Westburg, Povich and Kjerstad.
No thanks.
LMFAO!
Dang, SUGANO and SAUERS on the same day. Very confectionary.
Mmmmmm Sour Patch Kids.
I want Shintaro Fujinami to pitch in the MLB next year.
@Reynaldo’s I 100% agree. The Mets did not give him any chances last season. He started off shaky in triple a to start the year and then got injured. He came back and was lightening it up. Instead they used guys like Tyler Jay and Ty Adcock
Well done, O’s!
Nice signing for the O’s IMHO. Rooting for the 35 year old to have at the very least a decent season.
To the people saying there’s no risk in a one year deal, yes and no. Majority of teams other than the Dodgers and NY teams don’t have an unlimited budget and only have a few bullets in the chamber when it comes to acquiring players. If this guy sucks, Gary Sanchez sucks, and Rodgers does nothing, that’s over 20m they could’ve used elsewhere, along with prospect capital. They should not be doing anything that effects them re-signing Burnes.
What about things that could help make Baltimore more attractive to Roki Sasaki?
Because I think that’s worth doing.
A lot of lipstick.
Dude Sasaki isn’t going to the Orioles get a clue. They don’t even have an open spot in their rotation anymore thanks to this signing.
Posting blatantly incorrect information with supreme confidence, classic BITA.
Eflin, Grayson, Kremer, and Sugano are the only set SPs in the rotation at present.
As for Sasaki, we’ll see. Having a guy he likely looks up to and admires in the clubhouse certainly won’t hurt our chances of signing him.
Japanese batters are more contact oriented but Major League batters are more patient? Huh.
Yeah MLB batters take more walks. MLB is the 3 Major Outcome league.
Super fun signing. Way more interesting than a Gibson or Heaney type.
The Orioles are supposed to be replacing Burnes.
Maybe this guy will be good but who the heck knows. This isn’t the kind of risk the Orioles should be taking.
They will, and sure it is.
Has potential to be a solid deal for the O’s. Ride this dude every 5 days for 3 months and then when Bradish and Wells are coming back around slot into a 6 man or piggyback situation. A consistent big bat would be nice….
It’s hilarious how people come on sites like this and knock players they’ve never seen play.
You can see them contract. It’s not like Baltimore is a thriving Asian community so I doubt he took a discount. And he only got 1 year 13 million. So what do the Orioles know that everyone else doesnt?
The overrated Birds filled with “prospects”. Every single team in the AL east is overrated
What a stupid comment
I mean, one of those “prospects” has placed in the top 2 of ROTY voting for 3 years running now, but whatever.
Koji Uehara came to the O’s at 34 years old. At 38, he had one of the best seasons by a relief pitcher in the history of baseball. So there’s that.
Uehara was also a starting pitcher in Japan.
He was also the ace pitcher of the Giants.
Just like Sugano.
They are both control pitchers.
Both came to the US in their mid 30s.
Sugano might become a reliever in a few years too.
I think Urhara threw a lot harder. This guy shoves it up there at 92mph. I think he will give up a lot of homers.
It’s been awhile, but I recall his velo as a SP being pretty pedestrian but then jumping several ticks as a reliever.
This is one Breslow probably could have gotten. I still hope for Burnes, if not a Pivetta re-signing, but Crochet can not be the only starter added
As it stands you have a Top 10 rotation. Are you demanding a Top 5 rotation? That’s setting high expectations.
They absolutely do not have a top 10 rotation… they got a bunch of JAGs
Crochet and Houck are good. It’s borderline top 10 but thats a good 1 2 punch.
This length-wise worst contact was the best offer he got, probably not so satisfied.
Hopefully a dual purpose signing for the obvious rotation reasons but also much needed attention and recruitment if they plan on making an effort on Sasaki, which they most definitely should be doing – despite the highly publicized purported interest or desire to join a west coast team.
The Orioles will never win a World Series with Last Place Ellias as the GM
Elias is a fine GM at best
Elias won’t spend money even when the owner green lights it and hands it to him to spend. He politely refuses and says “no, we’re trying to make a point here.”
There’s zero actual evidence that article about Elias is rooted in fact. All sounds like sour grapes.
That report made me livid as a Mariners fan
Again, Kyle, there is zero evidence that report is credible.
LFGMoron can’t resist the chance to display his stupidity at every turn
Sorry, I am having flashbacks to Suk Min Yoon!
Finlete: MLBTR’s end run around gambling advertisers.
Why can’t they have gambling
They can. They chose not to. But this doesn’t seem far from it.
So how much did you invest?
$0,000,000.00!
Ooh, you are guaranteed to make 1000 % on your investment, well done!
This is a solid move. And a much better bet than assuming a reliever, even an elite one like Emmanuel Clase will get a big contract in 2029. Odds are he gets hurt by then or is like 99% of relievers who have a high level of volatility in their career. Only someone with Steve Cohen money would invest in Clase for his 2029 stats.
Sorry, what does Clase have to do with Sugano again ? Clase is not available and he is a closer.
The article before was an advertisement for some scam company with comments closed on it so I figured I’d post it here.
Sasaki?!
I don’t hate this signing. def worth the open roster spot. that is some freaky tight control to sport a BB rate like that. still, we’ll see after the transition (ball, different batters, etc) what role he can play.
come’on Elias… shock us with a multi-opt out high AAV contract that will get Burnes to bite. or move some guys to get another TOR guy.
good step, now let’s get that TOR and some bullpen help. (and Roki!)
keep that cash flyin’. Go O’s.
Elias is philosophically against giving any pitcher a multi year free agent contract.
also, he only thinks about eating dry cereal all day long. how is it that we can know what’s going on in someone’s mind?
classic post there, Iggy.
“depends on the situation”, is more likely explanation for the past history.
No, he’ll use skim milk on Cherrios.
This signing is nice, but it doesn’t move the needle much. The window is now, O’s have to go all in at some point, no? Just very risk averse. Fortis fortuna adiuvat.
It’s funny MLBTR can promote their insider thing as a great value, while promoting something worse than gambling with Finlete. “For $12 dollars you get 1 share of Clase’s future earnings”. Anyone that thinks that is a viable source of income is a complete moron. This a grift in case players get hurt and nothing else.
I must not see these ads at all. Now I know why someone was mentioning Clase earlier. I guess I’m still confused.
It’s an article ad. You definitely see it.
I don’t use the app. Maybe it’s only on the app.
I don’t either. It’s the second article under this. Titled “ Finlete Offers Fans The Opportunity To Acquire A Piece Of Emmanuel Clase’s MLB Salary (Sponsored)”
Deep breath, there is no ethical consumption or advertising
I’ve raised and eaten my own bugs. Checkmate, nerd
The why not move of the day.
Suganoz nutz
Got’eeeem
He made the right choice coming to the MLB it will be a tough road for him in the AL East but I’m pretty excited to see what we can do I’m thinking best case scenario he can be a pretty good innings eater for Baltimore
Really intriguing guy. Pretty nice price.
I always root for pure pitchers to do well. Execs are too in love with the radar gun nowadays. The art of pitching is being lost.
I think Verlander and sherzer are perfect for this team. One year 25-30 mil each? They have money to spend but doesn’t lock them in long term.
