No, it's because all of their pitchers' arms have exploded. Hence the point of this conversation.

Because everybody has a few aces whose arms go out before the deadline. Okay.

In terms of value as defined by contract, age, injury risk and skill?
Chris Archer and Gerrit Cole in the mix. Fernandez too if not for injury risks.

Archer good point. Cole is an injury risk, I'd say, and is subject to arb costs coming up. Rest of the guys are locked up.

There's so much good young pitching right now, damn.

Arrieta's not locked up. He's making $10.7MM after agreeing to avoid arbitration this year. Chatter about a long term deal, but Theo wants to see whether Jake's arm is still attached or not after last year 1st.

Arrieta might be 2nd best pitcher in the league though. His skill outweighs it, I think.

Older + massively backloaded contract. Would you trade two reasonable years of Arrieta for the right to pay Scherzer $35m in his age 35-37 seasons?
