2046.1- Good News Bears: Moreno Fired Up

Post by usnspecialist » Tue Mar 02, 2021 7:59 am

One of the shiny new toys in the Bears rotation is Jorge Moreno, acquired in the offseason for some minor league prospects as he entered the walk year of his contract. Shortly thereafter Moreno signed an extension that will pay him $43m over the six years following this one. Recently there were reports out of Montreal that Moreno was made available because he was "a pitcher who never really lived up to expectations".

When he was asked for his thoughts on this, Moreno just laughed and said "I am a top 20-25 pitcher in baseball pretty consistently, if that isnt worth paying a fairly reasonable price for than I think that GM needs his head examined. It is nice to be a part of an organization that believes in my talent and that is why I decided to commit my future here before even throwing a pitch for them. (GM) Randy Weigand was a straight shooter with me and explained some budgeting issues they had in future years, and I appreciated the respect he showed me, it was a pleasant change of pace".

Moreno had 3 quality starts to start the season before a rocky outing against the Omaha Hawks his last time out, but overall the team is feeling pretty good about both the new acquisition and the contract they have given him. Time will tell if that confidence is justified.
