Here We Lugo Again

Seth Lugo has been everything the Royals hoped he would be and more and he did it again yesterday afternoon.

The 2023/2024 offseason saw 12 pitchers, not including Shohei Ohtani, sign for at least $30 million in total value. That ranged from $10 million per year for Reynaldo Lopez to $31 million per year for Blake Snell. Right in the middle of all of it was Seth Lugo, who signed for $45 million over three years with an AAV of $15 million. There have been some incredible performances from that group of 12, so I’m not going to say that Lugo has been the best value of the group, but I don’t think anyone would have predicted that he would be putting up numbers that were as good or better than some of the better pitchers in all of baseball as he has.
