gets: SP Jeff Wearmouth(88) age 35 $17.5M until 2038
Am trying to build up my bullpen and free agents are getting pricey. Get a young player under team control to fill part of the need. Bringing up several starters so Wearmouth can move, plus salary relief.
Yeah. Wearmouth slides in nicely at #2 in the rotation. Guaranteeing 2 starts in the playoffs out of him in a 5 game series. That's a lot more valuable than a reliever with one plus vital. No matter the age difference.
