I'll give you another one that I picked also because of a short rotation.
I picked the A's.
Wherever you want to say that.
It's A's, the Oakland A's, the Sacramento A's.
I probably said the right one third, but whatever.
The Sacramento A's, their rotation right now, Luis Severino, Jeffrey Springs, and then it really goes downhill from there.
Aaron Savali, Jacob Lopez, JT Ginn.
They've got Luis Morales in there.
This is a rotation that could use a depth arm.
Even if he's not necessarily going to make the rotation, give him a minor league deal.
Let him have an opt-out maybe at the end of April or mid-May or something.
Give him a chance to make the team.
He had a 5-6 FIP last year.
4-5-6 ERA, 5-6 FIP.
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.
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.
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.
So I'll have him go in there.
Keep him on the West Coast, by the way.
