Starting Pitching Notes: Maeda, Angels, A’s

By Steve Adams and charliewilmoth | December 9, 2015 at 4:54am CDT

The Red Sox will not submit a bid to negotiate with Japanese right-hander Kenta Maeda, a source tells WEEI.com’s Rob Bradford. While Maeda at one point looked like a possibly intriguing target for Boston, the team has plenty of mid-rotation options beyond ace David Price and probably won’t seek to add another, Bradford writes. Earlier Tuesday night, Giants GM Bobby Evans told MLBTR’s Zach Links that his team is having internal discussions about Maeda, though John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle hears that a match between the two sides is “unlikely.” Here are more notes on the starting pitching market.

  • The Athletics are hunting for a “No. 2” type of pitcher, Joe Stiglich of Comcast SportsNet California tweets. Manager Bob Melvin says the team is looking at veterans to fill that role. The A’s have recently been connected to free agent and former Athletic Scott Kazmir, who would certainly fill the bill as a veteran No. 2 starter.
  • The Angels are willing to trade not only C.J. Wilson (as was reported Monday), but also Hector Santiago and Matt Shoemaker, MLB.com’s T.R. Sullivan tweets. Of the three, Santiago has attracted the most attention, Sullivan’s colleague Alden Gonzalez tweets. Teams want the Angels to eat at least $15MM of the remaining $20MM on Wilson’s contract, which Gonzalez suggests is “too much.” Santiago, though, is effective as well as relatively young and cheap — MLBTR projects he’ll make $5.1MM next season, a very reasonable sum for a pitcher who threw 180 2/3 innings with a 3.59 ERA in 2015. One might think Shoemaker would also be an attractive target — his ERA last season was a run higher than Santiago’s, but his peripherals (7.7 K/9, 2.3 BB/9) were solid, and he’ll be making the league minimum again next season.

    The Shelby trade was a steal for the Braves.
    If other GMs think that it set the bar for the SP trade market.
    No other trades are going to go through due to high tend expectations.

    The diamondbacks paid a high price for getting shelby miller, I think swanson was going to be an impact bat pretty soon and they let him go for miller along with blair , and the angels need to find a way to make a trade for a bat or another reliever.

      Can’t understand why the Angels won’t spend to get one of the outfielders out there.
      Do they not have the budget to do so?

        they only have about 16 million to spend, they have no choice but to go over the luxury tax to get it done, Heyward is the best choice for them but it would cost them a draft pick, I would rather go after cespedes but the angels need a lefty bat.

        It is going to be pretty difficult for them if they plan to stay in under the luxury tax which seems to be the goal. Getting rid of Wilson and half of his contract, if possible, would be of great benefit to them.

          Getting rid of half , which teams want them to eat 15 million still puts them around 21 million under, I think they have no choice but to go over the luxury tax. they have holes in left , third and second.
