Of course he accepted the qualifying offer. There was never any doubt. That one year salary is so far and beyond above his value, its borderline absurd. Hope he pitches well early so we can spin him for something.

I would have offered Gausman a 2/$20M or something similar.

I agree. I thought it was a typo but what in the actual f**k did Farhan do here?? JFC talk about wasting money. This was a classic Old regime move

I fully understand that we are very needy for starting pitchers. But Chad is not a $19 million pitcher. We have the money and the flexibility to overpay for specific free agents but I think this is absurd

No, I don't agree. You're basing this off nothing but your feelings.

We only had 105 million on the books for 2021. Adding Gausman back saves some face in the rotation and gives us a trade deadline chip. There aren't exactly a ton of decent SP out there, and the ones available are looking for longterm money. The Gausman QO actually made sense.

The old regime would have given him a 3-4 year deal.

I don't have a problem with it. We didn't lose any payroll flexibility for that stacked 2021 free agent class.
