NL one has like 15 guys you could make a case for that I wouldn't argue against. I highly doubt Martin keeps this up but the consistency and run prevention have been good enough so far that I'd give him a slight edge over Messick, Cease, etc.

What does a Brandon Lowe extension look like for Pittsburgh? Does 3/$50m get it done?

Seems about right. Could see him aiming for Teoscar/Christian Walker AAV if he keeps this up all season but I don't see four years here given the durability history and defensive questions

An extension around $50M bakes in some of the uncertainty of the next few months. Would've had him closer to ROH territory coming into the season so could still see that being pretty compelling for him

Can Z Litttell be a viable starter again - even if he can’t strike anyone out?

Not if he's also giving up more than two homers per nine
Alright we're at 90 minutes so I'm going to wrap here and see where we're at on news from this afternoon

Steve and I are both taking Monday off for the holiday, so I don't think there'll be a Monday chat next week. Not sure if he'll try to make that up later in the week. I'll be back next Friday in either case

Have a great weekend everyone!
