As a No. 5 starter with upside sure!

Left handers always pitch better with age as well. If you can get something close to his 2018/2019 seasons, not bad as a No. 5 starter. Definitely worth the risk IMO.

Yeah it does, but Eflin is only 28-years-old, which definitely is an advantage.

Dodgers signed Shelby Miller, 1 year $1.5M Someone on here really wanted him. I'm surprised he got a guaranteed deal from LA.

Jaysblue wanted him.

Still plenty of relievers out there. I wonder about Fulmer. While his 2nd half last year, especially after getting traded, did not have good results, his 2nd half BABIP against was .391.

His "stuff" was off the charts in his tiny sample size.
That's why LA was willing to give him a guaranteed deal, and probably why he was able to squeeze them for an extra $700k or whatever.

I raise my hand haha.

Dodgers have the extra resources to give him that type of guaranteed money. They've done well with some reliever reclamation projects like Brandon Morrow and Jimmy Nelson in the past, so not a bad gamble. Especially given the cost of relievers this offseason as well.

Apparently Winker pissed off half the clubhouse, and didnt want to play certain games, complained about non-existant ijuries, etc. They wanted him gone bad. He has some issues for sure.
