Eric Pedroia is not the best pitcher in the league

The former KBO League MVP is quickly becoming one of the most desired pitchers on the major league trade market. The Chicago White Sox’s Eric Pedroia, 31, is not the best pitcher in the league. The trade market is clamoring for the ace of the last place team.

MLB.com, the official website of Major League Baseball, mentioned Peddie’s name in an article titled “13 Best Trade Candidates and Potential Fits” on March 22 (KST).

The media said of Pedi, “His return to the major leagues has been solid. He signed a two-year, $15 million ($20.8 million) deal. Any team that wants him will have to pay the remainder of his 2024 salary and $7.5 million next year, but that’s a reasonable amount for a reliable pitcher.”

Pedi was a dominant pitcher in the KBO last year. 바카라사이트 He started 30 games and pitched 180⅓ innings for the NC Dinos, posting a 20-6 record with a 2.00 ERA and 209 strikeouts. He won the Triple Crown, leading the league in wins, ERA, and strikeouts, and was named league MVP and won the Gold Glove for pitching.

Prior to his time in an NC uniform, he was a first-round prospect for the Washington Nationals, who gave him a legitimate shot at being a starter. However, the pitcher was released after failing to develop as expected, and his success in the KBO led to major league interest. He ended up signing with the Chicago White Sox for two years and $15 million, the most expensive contract ever for a KBO player.

Peddie is proving to the majors that he’s ready for the big leagues.

Today, Peddy is the team’s ace and one of the best starting pitchers in the league. In 16 starts, he has a 5-2 record with a 3.05 ERA in 94⅓ innings pitched. He has 86 strikeouts and a WHIP (walks allowed per inning pitched) of 1.14. His 3.7 wins above replacement (WAR) per Baseball-Reference currently ranks second among pitchers.

However, the team isn’t backing him up. The White Sox are the league’s worst offense. They have a 21-57 record and a 2.669 winning percentage. 바카라사이트 추천 They are the only team in the league with a winning percentage in the double digits. On April 22 against the Detroit Tigers, Peddy had a frustrating day. He threw 92 pitches over seven innings, allowing five hits (one home run), one walk, three strikeouts, and two earned runs. The offense could only muster one run while he was on the mound. Pedi was forced to take the loss.

At this point,

Pedi would be an attractive commodity for a team looking to bolster their starting rotation with postseason aspirations. MLB.com lists the Houston Astros, Milwaukee Brewers, and St. Louis Cardinals as potential suitors.

The Chicago Sun-Times, a Chicago-area publication, explained, “While there is talk of center fielder Lewis Robert Jr. and left-hander Garrett Croce as the top trade cards for general manager Chris Getz, Eric Pedroia should be considered one of the White Sox’ ‘big three’ trade cards.

“Pedi has been playing well all season long. He signed for two years and $15 million in 2023 after a stellar performance in Korea. 메이저 토토사이트 A postseason contender that could use him for a season and a half could get a good prospect for him,” he said, adding that he believes a trade is highly likely and supports the move.
