JD on Chris Sale (Jun 11, 2026): I'm glad Chris Sale had one more career renaissance in him after he left the Red Sox. I remember buying low on him after the trade was completed and I rode him all the way to his Cy Young that year. It's crazy to see him still performing at that high level. and I don't see why he can't do it into his early 40's. He's one of the safer late-30s pitchers that I can imagine.
JD on George Kirby (Jun 17, 2026): I am underwhelmed by his K rate right now but I feel like it is an anomaly rather than a trend that we should be worried about. He has such good command (LOC+ 113) and is so around the zone that I like his ability to age very gracefully even if the stuff takes a step back. He may not have the stuff of some of the guys around him but I will take the reliability in a low end #1 / high end #2.
