Phillies have agreed to a three-year contract with Andrew McCutchen, source says. Deal is pending a physical. McCutchen's three-year deal with the Phillies expected to be in the range of about $45 million.

I can't imagine paying that much for what amounts to be a third or fourth outfielder for the Phillies.

Of course this is the kind of thing people have in mind when they want the Pirates to spend money

Not a bad arm for the pen
I can't comfortably conclude that lyes and his career 5.28 era are in fact, good,

Lyles numbers as a reliever are pretty good.

Wasn't he a .250 hitter last year (yeah, I'm not using advanced stats)? I just looked and he hit .255.

5.28 era in 113 innings?

Respectfully disagree

He was decent last year. Not bad wasn't a ringing endorsement, btw

Though I'm surprised to see those numbers. I was speaking just off watching him pitch a few times in the past and remembering he had good stuff. Didn't realize that he got lit up consistently pre-2018

He pitched well in relief last year. He also is said to have made some kind of adjustment and started working more off of his curve-ball with greater success. He is likely the Edgar Santana replacement.

Lyles played for the Rockies for a while, too. That's got to hurt your ERA.

Did anyone else read GMNH's comments on the Nova trade? It wreaked of penny pinching.
