If I were an owner I wouldn’t offer a contract for longer than 3 years for a 32 year old pitcher.
Giants, Sabien, snatch him up!!!
32 years old? I wouldn’t risk it, particularly given his history, unless he could throw a knucleball like Niekro.
yep, Go Giants.
The Dodgers cannot afford to lose him but may not be able to afford to keep him. The Boys in Blue are screwed.
2016 is the Giant’s even year to go all the way and the key for the Giants is always GOOD PITCHING.
Boston is looking for a number one ace
Come to Texas.
Arte - get out your checkbook.
Yep. He was a serious head case when he was here.
Bet he goes to the Yankees.
He is not old enough to be with the Yankees yet.
If the Mets and Royals proved anything this year, it’s that spending a lot of money on big-name starting pitchers may not be a recipe for success. Look how many current and recent Cy Young Award contenders ended up watching the World Series from home.
Heck of an arm though. Still I think when all is said and done Alcides Escobar and Lorenzo Cain had done more for the team than Grienke ever did.
At 32, though, he may have hit his peak and may now start a gradual decline. Also, pitching in Dodger Stadium usually cuts a half-run off anyone’s ERA. Oh, he should still be a top-notch pitcher for the next year or two, but he’s not going to be getting any better or even as good.
I hope my Cubs go after David Price.
