Down vote for the A's. Baz has never lived up to the hype and I'd rather have 4 years of Soderstrom.
I’m of the opposite view of Grover. Baz pitched very well last year in away games. Pitching at the minor league Steinbrenner stadium was a problem in 2025 that won’t exist in 2026. Next year, Baz will pitch half his games in the pitcher friendly Trop, where his results will probably be better than his results in away games this year. In short, I expect Baz to put up very very good results next year. Mid 3.0s in ERA/FIP is my expectation but I won’t be shocked by high 2.0s. With that being the case, I have no desire to trade Baz.
He still has 4 yrs of control? Dang I would have thought he was down to like 2 yrs, Oakland should be trying to lock some of these guys up with extentions
A's fans have said the same.
