The first week post-trade deadline saw the Red Sox and Angels scuffle, while the sizzling Cubs joined the Mariners as teams on hot streaks. Where does your club rank in our latest power rankings?
I’d like to imagine that in the 1990s or even 2000s, teams would trade for a pitcher, shake his hand in the clubhouse, pat him on the butt and say, “Go get ’em. Do that pitching stuff that you’re good at” and that was that. Nowadays, though, it’s more complicated. It’s coaches and quants sitting down with tablets and computers and explaining their ideas for how to prevent base runners and runs more effectively. In terms of on-field results, it’s an objectively more productive process.
This might be what made a Verlander reunion so compelling to the Astros. They can pat him on the butt and say, “Go get ’em. Do that pitching stuff that you’re good at.” He already has the buy-in. He already speaks the local dialect. He knows where the bathrooms are. “Give ’em the ol’ razzle-dazzle the way we like it,” they’ll say, and then they’ll spend their valuable time making plans for different players.
