This winter teams have been backing up Brinks trucks to pay for left-handed starting pitching. The trio of Madison Bumgarner, Hyun-Jin Ryu and Dallas Keuchel have signed deals totaling $220 million. Give credit to the Cincinnati Reds front office for choosing a different and smarter path to acquiring a southpaw rotation piece after signing Wade Miley.
Miley might not have been the most exciting name on the free agent market this winter, however, his recent success would indicate the Reds got a bargain in this money spending-frenzy culture of free agency.
