Sonny Gray said he might waive his no trade clause.  The Cards are already paying $20M of his $31M...

They restructured his contract though. He now has a 10M buyout for next year. So you'd need Boston to pay half of that or we'd have to add more. 

I'd definitely take Gray for a reasonable package.

Love the extension for Miz talks….sure would be nice if a small market like us could extend him thru say, like 2031. Oh, that’s right, we have him thru 2031 under this CBA, at least. If he throws out his arm and never pitches again, we are not on the hook for even next year.   We have a pretty good situation how it is right now with Miz’s contract.

Don’t teams take our injury protection (insurance) on long term contracts?

I could see Miz (with his velocity) being sidelined by an injury at some point, but I think the real risk in a multi-year deal would be if a player ages and starts to faceplant (Yelich)

also, if we continue our track record of trading pitchers a year before FA, we only have Miz for 4 more years following this one.

i still am In favor of buying out the 5 arby years of we can get get 1-2 team options for years 6&7.  Security for Miz, extending the window for us.

of course there needs to be mutual interest and there likely isn’t

Zero reason to talk about extension with the MIz - He will be another Corbin Burnes who we trade with 1 year left.

Chase Burns signs extension with Reds.  I’d love a similar deal with Miz

7 years $105 million.

Brewers made their pitch a couple times with the Miz just before he really blew up. Now that ship looks to have sailed as the Brewers arent going to be in the market for arguably the top pitcher in baseball.

Sadly, that is exactly what I'm expecting.

His arm and his velocity is such a risk, it might be the best decision to be honest.
