cmh6476 1,031 Posted July 25 Red Sawx apparently turned down an offer from the Padres for Duran. Duran makes a lot of sense for the Royals. The question is could a Seth Lugo/ Carter Jensen package be enticing enough for them to bite. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hes a 19 yr old in AA who has great projections still. 19 yo with a stress fracture in his back with a career .650 ops in the minors so far. Granted he’s young for the level but people are living on his DSL performance as a 16 yo. He as aggressively ranked on numerous prospect lists the 1st year and continues to slide down.

TBayXXXVII 2,553 Posted Sunday at 06:56 PM 2 tid-bits watching today's Pirates game.... 1) Paul Skenes is the only starter in MLB this season with 10+ starts, to not give up a run in the first inning in any start. His current streak, extending from last season, is 27. 2) Entering today, Paul Skenes with 307 career strikeouts and career ERA of 1.91, is the only pitcher since at least 1893, to record 300 or more strikeouts and have a sub 2 ERA in his first 44 career starts. Pirates better get a great return when they trade him in 3 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They have a lot of injuries to the rotation lately. I heard on the radio today that of royals starters between lugo, ragans, wacha, singer, marsh and after trading for Lorenzen, those six made 157 starts last year. Definitely didn't have that kind of luck this year. Source confirms that Seth Lugo's extension is worth a guaranteed $46 million for two years. $20 million each in 2026 and '27. Vesting option is worth $20 million or a club option for $17 million (with $3 million buyout). Lugo also gets a $3 million signing bonus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
