Aw crap! I had hopes Stearns would pony-up the money for him. Next option?

[MVP2110]

A soon to be 36 year old reliever on a 3 year deal?

[wildcat2237]

3 year deal. Yuck. Explains why it took him so long to sign. Glad Stearns passed.

[Outlander]

Who's Harris? Isn't that the old dude from Major League?

[wibadgers23]

3 years, $24 million.

Their is still plenty of arms to get for the pen but think getting a 3rd baseman is still top on the list.

I’d like Steve Cishek, Brandon Kintzler, or Collin McHugh

Hey Bartender!! Jobu Needs A Refill!!

That third year is way too much for me.

 

Crew will do better to just go with Rasmussen/Andrews/QTC in the pen for about $500K each.

I'm also flirting with the idea of Aaron Sanchez (absolutely not as a starter) and Taijuan Walker but these 3 are at the top of my list too.

 

8mil really isn't that steep for him. 3 years is a haul. I hope this RP market gets friendly and DS jumps in. I'm pretty sure if the RP market is tame (and it's seemed to be quieter than the SP market) MKE can pull in 4 RP types for around 15-18 mil and really solidify the pen. Super shuttle in AAA to start the year as well.

 

Wonder what this means for Hudson, not that I want him but I thought the Nats wanted to keep him. Did he over demand and the Nats went with an upgrade over caving to his demands?

Wow! I was hoping for Harris but 3/$24 for a guy who will be 39 in the last year is way out of range. You're right, I'm glad D.S. passed.

Will Harris, who previously pitched for the Astros. From MLBtraderumors:

 

While Harris’ age is a natural question mark, he has a pretty clean injury history, with only two IL stints (totaling around six weeks in 2017 due to shoulder inflammation) over his nine MLB seasons. In that time, he has quietly posted some outstanding numbers, particularly as a member of Houston’s bullpen from 2015-19. Harris has a 2.36 ERA, 4.38 K/BB rate, and 9.5 K/9 over 297 innings, averaging 59 frames per season.
