Back on January 30th, the Kansas City Royals signed RHP Zack Grienke to a 1 year/$8.5 million dollar deal. Greinke will be entering his age 39 year old season and in his 19th season last year he was still very solid. He pitched to a 3.68 ERA in 137 IP with a 10.3 H/9, 0.9 HR/9, 1.8 BB/9, and a 4.8 K/9. While he doesn’t have good strikeout stuff, he was still very solid and got outs while he pitched in his age 38 year old season. Grienke had his best seasons in KC, and that’s exactly where he will be staying for this upcoming season. Greinke will likely be the Royals ace this season with Yarbrough, Singer, Lyles, and Keller being behind him. For a sub 4 ERA and a pitcher who can usually stay healthy less than $9 million is a good deal. A very low risk signing that could have a decent reward for the Royals who have had a pretty busy offseason. What are your thoughts on Grienke once again going back to the City of Fountains? How does KC rank in the AL Central? Will the Royals make any more moves before the 2023 season starts? #zackgreinke #kansascityroyals #royalsnation💙⚾️ #kcroyals #cityoffountains #veteran #formercyyoung #pitching #pitchtocontact #borderlinehalloffamer #oneyeardeal #lowriskhighreward #alcentral #mlboffseason #mlbtransactions #mlbsignings #mlbcoverage #mlbcontent #mlbnews #baseballnews #b4liferoyals #mlb
Back on January 12th, the Pittsburgh Pirates signed OF/DH Andrew McCutchen to a 1 year/$5 million dollar deal. First off right from the start, no matter how the Pirates do this season this is a move every baseball fan should love. As most of us should know, Cutch is a former Pirate who was drafted and debuted with the club. While he was in the Steel City, he won an MVP back in 2013, a Gold Glove, a 4x Silver Slugger winner, and a 5x All-Star all through 9 seasons as a Pirate. He played like a Hall-of-Famer when he was with the Buccos and also rocking the dreads. In 1,346 career games as a Pirate, he had a .866 OPS/ .291 BA/ 203 HR/ 725 RBI/ 171 SB/ 292 2B/ 44 3B/ and 1,463 hits. He also finished in the top 5 of the MVP voting from 2012-2015. Sadly however the glory days for Uncle Larry in Pittsburgh are likely over as he enters his age 36 year old season. Last season with the Brew Crew he hit .237 with a .700 OPS/ 17 HR/ 69 RBI/ 25 2B/ 8 SB/ and 122 hits in 134 games. He definitely still has some pop left in his bat however as he hit 27 bombs in 21’ and 17 in 22’. But his speed is mostly gone and his defense isn’t the same anymore. Still for Pirates fans especially you have to love this move. I personally think it is so cool when a veteran potential Hall of Famer goes back to the place where it all started and that is exactly what Cutch is doing. He is going home back to the Steel City. Pirates have had a very solid offseason, which is surprising to say but now they make a move that I can guarantee that their fans will love. #22 is going home. What are your thoughts on this signing for the Pirates? Is this the cherry on top of the Pirates solid offseason? How will Cutch do back where his long career started? Do you also love this move as a baseball fan? #andrewmccutchen #pittsburghpirates #piratesnation🏴☠️ #buccosbaseball #raiseit #jollyroger #goinghome #backtowhereitallstarted #borderlinehalloffamer #formermvp #howcanyounotberomanticaboutbaseball #lovethis #hadtohappen #outfield #veteran #oneyeardeal #nlcentral #mlbcoverage #mlbcontent #mlbnews #baseballnews #b4lifepirates #mlb

Rocco “Rocky” Colavito was a feared slugger back in the the 50’s and 60’s. Rocky was a nine time all star. He ended his career with the Yankees in 1968. For a regular 162 game season Rocky’s season average throughout his career looked like this. .266 Batting average, 33 home runs, 102 RBI’s, and a 132 OPS+. Not too bad at all. . . . . #rockycolavito #cleveland #indians #rookie #card #allstar #slugger #borderlinehalloffamer #mlb #baseball #rookie #card #slugger #cannon #thehobby #hobbylove #hobby #collection #whodoyoucollect #cardcollecting #cardcollector #gem #mint #psa #chrome #parallel #prizm #refractor
