Good point. 

Pittsburgh's probably thinking... "Crap. Wish we would've known..."

I've forgotten about SGL as an "out of sight, out of mind"....

But yes, he's definitely in the mix somewhere as well...

All will be determined next year, 2025 spring training...

No, let me rephrase it this way.  Skubal and Olson are in the rotation.  Mize/Maeda/FA/FA for the other 3 spots out of camp.  I would think Mize has one of those.  I'm uncertain what becomes of Maeda.  So, that would leave open spots for 1 or 2 FA (or trade) acquisitions.

The problem with this is, I don't see Harris offering Mize arbitration. He doesn't keep injured pitchers around.

It’s not an arm issue.  He’ll be fine.

nothing is 100%, but no chance he lets Mize walk

How many millions will he demand in arbitration? Remember, he wasn't a Harris pick. Look at Manning and Torkelson, Boyd and Turnbull. And there's probably more. Sure, Manning didn't perform but neither did Maeda.

No chance? IDK...there's a very good chance. Unless Mize gets back here and starts pitching decent. He really hadn't shown much...

They have an option on Mize for 3.1 million.  Even with the injury, I suspect they pick it up

[RatkoVarda]

they have cost certainty on Mize; they are not letting him go

[Sports_Freak]

Ohhh...so Mize won't be going to arbitration. Yeah, he should still be here. But the guy has to start pitching much better and start staying healthy. I mean, this latest injury happened when he ran 50 feet or so for a pop foul. Basic stretching exercises prevents those injuries, especially in a young guy.

Doesn't seem like arbitration.  But I didn't realize there was a buyout attached.

Him missing time kinda makes me think Harris may find a better use of his salary. He needs to come back this season and show enough to make it a tough decision. Missing a month for going after a popup isn't promising.
