Fired Scotty 1 yr too lateSomething good came out of the Mariners 2023 team.

He'll blow up and fit right in with that disaster franchise.MLB Network’s Jon Heyman reported that the Angels agreed to terms with LHP Yusei Kikuchi, who had been with the Astros, on a three-year, $63 million contract.
Kikuchi has flashed considerable upside at times since coming over from Japan but has struggled with consistency which has led to slightly above-average results. However, he is coming off his best stretch of MLB action ever after posting a 2.70 ERA and 0.93 WHIP with 76 strikeouts in 63 innings after being traded to the Astros at the 2024 trade deadline. Much of that success coincided with him leaning on his slider more often, which is nice to see, and Kikuchi does have a good fastball, which is part of the reason he’s fifth in baseball in K-BB rate over the last two years
Still hanging on to 0. As stupid as that franchise is, I'll give them credit for spending. I could drop 27 cents in the middle of the FO and those bastard owners coming flying in to swoop up the change.But at least they are adding. That is the 4th or 5th addition. We are at....
