Coming off a much worse year he got $13 million guaranteed. This past year he pitched like a #2 starter. Yes he has not been good with the Brewers (the Brewers also went and changed his pitch makeup) but overall he had a good season and is fairly young for a FA. The only thing keeping him under $20 million a year is his health concerns.
He signed a $12.5 million prove it deal last year and he proved it. He's not coming back for less than $15 million a year for 3 years and that maybe underselling it.
Harrison even with his IL time is now about his pitch total for last year.
The last time he pitched a lot of MLB innings in 2024, his fastball also became really hittable.
August 2024 Fastball value: -5.1
August 2026 Fastball value: -5.7
When he was going good in spring, his fastball was a plus pitch.
Yeah, just a guy if you ignore his 2017, 2018, 2019, 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025. He got old quickly, it happens. And it wasn't like teams didn't have questions, it's why he 's on a one year $15 million deal.
It would not be a year of service (how the year will be weighed is unknown but usually it would be that X number of days in 2027 is a full year with X being the length of the season). But if he is on the 40 man he would be locked out and losing development time.
The pitching staff gave up 2 runs in 9 innings. Over the season Padres score 4.28 R/G and the Brewers give up 3.82 R/G.
The offense scored 2 runs in 9 innings. Over the season the Brewers score 4.89 R/G and the Padres give up 4.27 R/G.
One side did enough to win yesterday and it wasn't the offense.
