1-year deals for SP so far this winter:
Nick Martinez, CIN -- $21.05M (QO)
Alex Cobb, DET -- $15M
Tomoyuki Sugano, BAL -- $13M
Griffin Canning, NYM -- $4.25M
Kyle Hendricks, LAA -- $2.5M
who's next? where will Max Scherzer/Justin Verlander end up?
Reds clearly desperate for a defense-first second catcher in a thinned out catching market and Trevino is a solid option who should impact the whole pitching staff but Cruz is not a small price to pay + NYY seems like the exact team that can help him further harness his stuff
"The biggest thing for us is really trying to not be a victim of the ballpark. We gotta be dynamic in how we score runs."
