Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB Notes: Where Are The Remaining Free Agents Going To End Up?

I'll give you another one that I picked also because of a short rotation.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB Notes: Where Are The Remaining Free Agents Going To End Up?

I picked the A's.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB Notes: Where Are The Remaining Free Agents Going To End Up?

Wherever you want to say that.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB Notes: Where Are The Remaining Free Agents Going To End Up?

It's A's, the Oakland A's, the Sacramento A's.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB Notes: Where Are The Remaining Free Agents Going To End Up?

I probably said the right one third, but whatever.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB Notes: Where Are The Remaining Free Agents Going To End Up?

The Sacramento A's, their rotation right now, Luis Severino, Jeffrey Springs, and then it really goes downhill from there.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB Notes: Where Are The Remaining Free Agents Going To End Up?

Aaron Savali, Jacob Lopez, JT Ginn.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB Notes: Where Are The Remaining Free Agents Going To End Up?

They've got Luis Morales in there.

BIB Notes: Where Are The Remaining Free Agents Going To End Up?

This is a rotation that could use a depth arm.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB Notes: Where Are The Remaining Free Agents Going To End Up?

Even if he's not necessarily going to make the rotation, give him a minor league deal.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB Notes: Where Are The Remaining Free Agents Going To End Up?

Let him have an opt-out maybe at the end of April or mid-May or something.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB Notes: Where Are The Remaining Free Agents Going To End Up?

Give him a chance to make the team.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB Notes: Where Are The Remaining Free Agents Going To End Up?

He had a 5-6 FIP last year.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB Notes: Where Are The Remaining Free Agents Going To End Up?

4-5-6 ERA, 5-6 FIP.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB Notes: Where Are The Remaining Free Agents Going To End Up?

So this is a guy who probably, and especially at this point in the offseason, let's be honest with ourselves, he's either going to need to take a minor league deal or hope that there's a long reliever role, a mop-up guy role in a bullpen at some point.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB Notes: Where Are The Remaining Free Agents Going To End Up?

But even then, to be ready, he would have to take

and NRI with an opt-out at the end of spring training to get there.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB Notes: Where Are The Remaining Free Agents Going To End Up?

So there's a lot of moving parts that need to happen, but I think the A's could be an interesting spot for him.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB Notes: Where Are The Remaining Free Agents Going To End Up?

So I'll have him go in there.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB Notes: Where Are The Remaining Free Agents Going To End Up?

Keep him on the West Coast, by the way.
