who is aro?

edit: johnathan aro is also going to seattle

 

[DougieSmash]

Carson Smith is really good. Elias is nice depth to has it. Great deal for both sides though.

Miley and Elias are similar pitchers - edge going to Miley - but Elias is younger and under control for longer. Smith is a stud. Boston wins as far as the MLB player swap is concerned. I can't comment on Aro.

Not bad for Boston. Love Carson Smith. Groundball machine.

 

[darko]

I really like Carson

 

[Virtanen18]

Also on the Carson Smith hype train. Good move for the Sox.

I hate to say it but I really like this move for Boston

Same. They've got some terrible terrible contracts but with the way they are re-tooling things they can be good next year and beyond.

Somebody wanted Wade Miley?

It's a shame we won't get to watch the Blue Jays clobber Miley as much anymore. That was rather enjoyable.

Dipoto again showing he's a solid GM, it unfortunate Sciosia won the power struggle, but he's making some solid moves despite the lack of Moreno's $$$$$$.

He's an average starter signed for 3/27. Have you seen the contracts being handed out to pitchers these days? Miley's valuable at that cost.

 

[DougieSmash]

Good deal for M's, too. In world where Jeff Samardzija worth 90 M for 5 years and Mike Leake is about to sign for similar price, Miley contract is bargain. He's ideal #4.

Felix/Paxton/Walker/Miley/Karns.

Desperately need Paxton or Walker to become a legit 2.

 

[Cassano]

Big fan of Smith as well, but I think this is a move the Mariners needed to make. Very hard to acquire starting pitching these days.

Yeah, for sure. Lots of question marks after King Felix. Did Seattle make an offer to Iwakuma? can't see why they would let him go for 3/45 contract.

That doesn't mean I'd actually want him on my team. I can't believe in a trade he brings back anything good. I'm surprised Boston got what they did.

 

[BCS]

I'm surprised Boston got what they did.

Agree w/ that. I'd definitely take Smith over Miley.

 

[Avs_19]

Smith, Koji, and Kimbrel to close out games isn't bad at all.

Now you just hope (and maybe pray) the starters not named David Price can get it to them in a position to win.

190 plus innings per season last three years, hard to find guys like that.

Walker was supposed to be a #1, but he hasn't shown anything close to that.

Yeah, for sure. Lots of question marks after King Felix. Did Seattle make an offer to Iwakuma? can't see why they would let him go for 3/45 contract.

They have a weird ownership group at times. They'll shell out huge $$$ for position players like Cano & Cruz but seem allergic to big money deals for pitchers, minus Felix (which was a given).
