Two of the best pitchers in the league are on the market this year in the form of
Sergio Sanchez and
Robert Owen. I'd love to have Sanchez, but he's just not the sort of guy who fits. Owen would be a fit for us, but I'm just not sure I can really move the sorts of people I'd need to move to make either possible, as both are commanding salaries in the 10-15 million range per year and for Sanchez, trending towards $20m/year towards the back half of his deal. Is he worth it? No doubt. But that's a lot to invest in a guy that'll tie up your franchise's financials and Cleveland didn't win when they were still paying him peanuts.
So, I'm gonna have to pass, sadly.
