I liked Leiter on the Yanks, but good luck!
I didn’t.
Good riddance š
I didn’t since us fans didn’t get to experience that elusive “elite” splitter much.
I mean yeah was he the best? No, but I just liked that he was here like his dad. Same with Belli. I’m nostalgic that way.
Nice they signed Al Leiter’s kid
Al’s nephew
A reliever with an ERA consistently hovering just under 5.00ā¦ Iām not sure I see the value here.
I think you have to look moreso at his Savant Page. That is where you find the real value in his pitch mix and effectiveness. He’s a savvy vet signing for the A’s Pen. Can be a breakout candidate from a 2026 performance standpoint.
He was pretty good with the Cubs for a bit there. Then he turned into a pumpkin in the Bronx. I hope he finds his rhythm again.
I knew it! I made a list of 8 reliever that would be good for the A’s and Leiter Jr. was one of them, here he is, a bullpen arm on the A’s.
He had his moments, i wish him well out West.
Hope he does well on the Nottheyankees. He went to NJIT so he’s a bright guy. May make a good coach someday with his baseball family heritage.
