Stroman’s already one of the more intriguing potentially available starters along with Madison Bumgarner, Trevor Bauer and Mike Minor. Combine Stroman’s reasonable $7.4 million salary and remaining year of control with his 2.84 ERA and 58.1 per cent ground ball rate and you have an appealing trade target, especially considering his big game successes.
Granted, Giles struggled throughout the 2017 playoffs, but a far greater sample of regular season innings points to elite results. Even with the Astros clearly out of the mix based on their history, there should still be widespread interest.
bnicholsonsmith Wherever Sanchez goes I hope they have good nail technicians. Lol
bnicholsonsmith If they trade them hope they get better than what they got for the other players.
bnicholsonsmith Not a lot of teams out there interested in winning that have great farm systems to make a deal with. Atlanta and San Diego have great pitching prospects and have the minor league depth to make a deal for Sanchez/Stroman/Giles.
bnicholsonsmith and kill any reason a fan should want to watch a game this year by removing the last two pitchers they have , yippee! :(
