on Nick Pivetta:
«Pivetta had a Stuff+ grade of 133, well ahead of top free agent targets such as Blake Snell (122), Corbin Burnes (120), and Max Fried (94)
For that reason, some members of the industry opined that Pivetta might still get offers in the three- and four-year range even with a qualifying offer attached to him.»

Pivetta most notably decided to add a more sweeping slider to his pitch mix after a tough outing on June 5th 2023 and since then has posted a 3.75 ERA in 237.1 innings pitched.

I'd like this.
While the Canadian born pitcher might not be the flashy starting pitcher fans were hoping for, he looks like he could end up being a great option for the Blue Jays.
