Yawn.

He’s 38 years old and hasn’t pitched in over a year. Why would you want him?

Hoffman is 41

looking a lot better than Gregg. Assuming he wants to pitch next year and wants to showcase himself for the rest of the year as that rumor states, sounds like he would be worth the gamble even in a non closer role.

Yabbut...

… Hoffman hasn’t been injured in the way Wagner has been. Age isn’t the only reason.

You can't.

He’s not a free agent.

Even if it was Wagner for Miles and Heilman?

lets offer them cash with it

baseball is a game of outs......pop out, ground out, line out, pitch out, strike out, fly out, and Fox and Bud's favorite black out

Why give up prospects

For a guy who’s been injured for well over a year?

I guess the big question is what Mets are asking for and how Lou would use him in the bullpen.

I'm going to piggyback on this thread

or hijack, if you prefer.

Another available hard-throwing lefty is the Cuban defector. The center-fielder who defected along with him is also thought to be major-league ready.

Any thoughts on whether the Cubs would or should have interest in these guys?
