Andrew Heaney free agent thread

[Brian Walton]

First free agent I’ve seen connected to the Cardinals.

The quiet period ends at 5pm today and if you are looking for a quick sign in this market keep an eye on Andrew Heaney. Lots of teams looking for the next Robbie Ray and Heaney struck out 27 pct of batters. Hear #Dodgers #Bluejays #Nationals #StLCards among the interested

5.83 ERA in 2021?

[LACardFan]

I’d rather have Lester back.

[PugsleyAddams]

We better bring “Lucky” LeBlanc back. I’ve been a Cards fan since age 5. But I must say that where “Lucky” lands so will I. Except if the cubbies ink “Lucky”…….then I stay put. I agree will Cranny and LACard…….Mr. Heaney belongs one of two places…..either in Hooterville or pitching in the Mile High City…..with his mile high ERA.

[Nigel T]

Heaney is a strong play. I see him as a potential bullpen stud. The problem would be that he probably doesn’t see himself there.
Daniel Norris is a similar, yet more likely bullpen piece.
A back end starter and a key reliever make similar money. Bring him in to start and take him north as a more youthful version of Andrew Miller.

Could be worth a low cost 3-4 million deal ….younger version of Kim?

[ZTR]

Maybe he can be the next John Tudor….

[gscottar]

Heaney would be a decent cheap number 5 starter, but like many have already said, I don’t know if he would be much better than LeBlanc, Happ, or Lester and we are already familiar with them.

[GameCard]

I like this potential move.

[Cards667]

He’s projected at 1 yr and $6 million. If that’s the case I take a chance on him over Lester, Haap, LeBlanc. But I’d still prefer to acquire a more front line guy. I don’t expect Wainwright to repeat his performance, but he can still be a good 4.

[Mrperkins]

No no no. Mlbtraderumors has their top 50 free agents, expected contracts, and destinations up. They have Steven Matz at 3/27mm. That’s the best looking deal to me. I thought he would get 14-16 per year and 4 years.

Free-agent LHP Andrew Heaney in agreement with Dodgers on one-year contract, pending physical, sources tell @TheAthletic. Deal is for more than $8 million – the amount Robbie Ray got from the Blue Jays a year ago. Heaney, as @JoelSherman1 noted, viewed as similar upside play.

He did not last long on the open market.

[mudville]

Now let’s see if he’s worth 8 million.

[1982 willie]

Well you don’t have to do a whole lot to be worth 8 million.
