Even if it’s trending in the wrong direction, I’ll take 2 walks per nine innings from my starter every time out.

Think the Dodger’s regret all those medical obsticals they included in this one particular deal, while not including them in several others? ‘Kuma has done a nice job, as always for the Mariners this season.

Doutbful as this failed deal led them to the Maeta deal which is looking good so far.

I don’t think they regret it because the Dodgers have Kenta Maeda now. Maeda is younger, has more years of control, makes less per year than Iwakuma (not including those bonuses), and is making an impact for the Dodgers while Kershaw is out.

Why would they not have gotten Maeda if they kept Kuma? Money wouldn’t be the problem too many pitchers wouldn’t be the problem so I don’t see the reasoning unless they have a quota for Japanese pitchers.

Well put!

Unless he has a catastrophic injury, the Mariners are not letting him go anywhere. He has been good and he’s lucky he is pitching at Safeco Field, he is susceptible to giving up homeruns, if he were to pitch for, say, the Yankees in NY, I wonder how many homeruns he would give up
