The Maven
Sox are supposedly in deep discussions with the Mariners involving Miley. No word on what the Sox would be getting (Carson Smith?), but the M's need a starter after losing Iwakuma to the Dodgers. I don't want a prospect in return. We need a solid major league player, and the Sox are looking for more bullpen help.
Miley eats innings and pitched reasonably well last season. A move to Seattle should help his overall numbers.
Teams also calling on Buchholz and Kelly. I would hold onto both. Buchholz is a relative bargain at $13mm even if he only makes 20-25 starts. We also hold a $13.5mm 2017 option. He is good when he is on the mound.
We still control Kelly for 3 more years, and that avg. fastball of 96 could play up to 98 if he is moved to the bullpen. At worst, he is a serviceable 6th starter/swingman.
