Start the reload with an unload of that shmuck.

Gotta get some gritty players with good back of baseball card stars that show up in the best shape of their lives

hopefully he's just saying whatever because he knows he's gone.

Here is a link for the full Amaro interview from this morning....

Goes full tard around 9:55

He's so absurdly overmatched. We have a fucking child (a dumb child) running the organization. Just fire him before he somehow fucks this up worse.

He's going on later to announce that the earth may, in fact, be round.

I think I would enjoy Amaro saying some really crazy crap on his way out.

He has to watch what he says or he won't be able to stay on as a special advisor.

I just posted the same thing in the MLB transactions thread.

FIP is 4.01, xFIP is 3.93. 23 years old. I'm very confused by that move.

Well hopefully nobody claims him before he gets to the phillies. And hopefully amaro knows about it.

Saw that tweet earlier. I guess I understand that he's sick of the questions, but you're not getting paid a bajilion dollars for what you did three+ years ago*, so get used to being treated like crap for the next few seasons because you are now very bad at the sport of baseball.

*well you are, but you shouldn't be

He doesn't miss a lot of bats. Middle reliever with mediocre stuff. Although his FB velocity has ticked up this year. Could certainly use a better off-speed pitch. At 23 he's worth a gamble.

The Cubs have a strong belief in pitching coach Chris Bosio.
