Hard to imagine a more uninspired choice for a franchise in the Steelers’ exact position. They had an opportunity to reset, and take this in a new, potentially exciting direction. And they made the most status-quo, “let’s try to win 10 games” choice on the table.
Awesome deal. Maybe the most underrated player in baseball. Younger than Contreras or Adley. Outlasted Moreno and Jansen. Elite defensive metrics the last three years, especially framing. Bat has chance to bounce back to 2022 levels with everyday role. Came close to Foolish 50.
Little has been demonstrably worse than the other leverage options, or even Lauer (or Fluharty, though he's probably down), for some time now.
Playing for the 3rd batter in an inning -- who hits lefties well, anyway -- when the 1st and 2nd are so dangerous is a major error.
Alejandro Kirk delivers the second grand slam in four days for the Blue Jays, giving them a 5-1 lead in the first, full house at dome roars, and Kevin Gausman follows with a tidy shutdown T2.
