Only if one or more of the tabloids promises to use Fedde Get Ready and Rock Steady as one of their headlines.

They're certainly turning over every damn stone to look for guys who are decent rebound candidates that could be had on the cheap. The rumor on Fedde is 2 years $10M total, so not the greatest risk price-wise and if he's serviceable, that $5M avg will feel practically free next to Verlander and Scherzer on the salary ledger.



MLBTR:


The dominant showing in a generally hitter-friendly foreign league set the stage for a quick return to the majors. In addition to the improved performance, it seems he overhauled his pitch mix. Fedde told Jesse Dougherty of the Washington Post in August that he'd developed more horizontal action on his slider and tweaked the grip on his changeup. That altered arsenal has clearly intrigued a few teams, as reports indicated Fedde was receiving interest from multiple MLB clubs this winter.


There's a record of guys going to pitch in Asia and coming back to success in MLB (recently Miles Mikolas and Nick Martinez, though both of those dudes pitched in Japan). If it's bargains on the fringes so they can throw stacks at Yamamoto, then you won't hear me yapping about it.

Reports say it could happen as soon as today, and that the deal would be about $10 million for two years.
