Alford's so quiet. I'm used to all the young guys being gregarious and outspoken, it seems weird to see someone who doesn't look like they enjoy interviews.![]()

Not sure what you are refererencing. Was it a post game interview?
He was having a good time when he talked with me today before the game.
in-game on the headset with Buck and Siddall. He came across very camera shy and quiet.
Lance Lynn to Minnesota at 12M for 1 year. Do we like that better than Garcia at 10M for 1 year?
Got to like Lynn better as a pitcher and he likely finishes with better numbers pitching in the AL Central vs the East.
But cant blame the FO. When we signed Garcia Lance Lynn turned 2 years - 20 million from the Twins. So we sign Garcia for 1 year at 10M. Bettet value at the time but now Lynn looks like a better value but not egregious. Garcia looks good in spring training... Lynn still has something to prove as he is a few weeks behind.

I also read that 14 of 15 scouts that have watched him this spring say his bat isn’t mlb ready and needs at least 6 months of polishing. May just be adjusting thoughJeff Passan @JeffPassan
28s
There have been more 90s and 91s on scouts’ radar guns for Shohei Ohtani’s fastball today than 95s. He has allowed six runs in three innings to the Tijuana Toros.
The whole “let’s make Biagini a starter” thing just seems silly.
Alas, Axford-Clippard-Oh probably means they’re going to try to keep doing it. It’s dumb.
Maybe if Garcia stays healthy (and of course performs) they don't?
