I know. It was the right move in the moment for 2023. Feels very likely that if he stayed he would regain his starter role in 2024 with both Dollander and Lindsey gone. His reasoning just seems like immaturity.

IMO, moving him also showed his versatility. While relievers aren’t drafted as high, I thought it improved his stock. Was the correct move by the staff. Sometimes, people just don’t get it. I figured he would be back to a starter next year, too.

I think we all did, I had already assumed he would be the Friday night guy next season.

Really, dude? C'mon Chase, we keep you starting we're probably not making it to Omaha. You're walking right into the starting spot again next year man. Grow up dude

It’s not that simple it’s about draft $

If he’s seen as a starter he’s a 1-1 potential draft. A reliever doesnt sniff that spot

If this is truly about the move to the pen, he’s extremely immature. He should be able to move past that and look at what was best for the team’s success. I’m sure his agent is feeding snake oil to him as well and rotting his opinion of us, but either way leaving because of the starter role thing is just dumb when he’ll be a starter here.

He would start here again next year. That is without question. I have zero concerns that Tony wouldn’t put him back in the rotation since we’re going to lose 2 rotation guys. His spot is still there.

Point being the kid should realize his stock improved by the move. Basically the reason he is in such demand.

He is thinking about his future I stated the other day starting pitchers in MLB make a lot more than relievers. Draft position as well how many relievers go in 1st round? He wants the smoke!!!

He’s one of only 4 Vols invited to the Combine and he’s old. He’s listed in the Top 175 of draft prospects for 2023. His stock will never be higher. He’s gone.

thanks
Without nil I’d 120% agree but let’s be honest he might get Nil = to pro ball money and if that’s the case he should stay. Knoxville is way better than rookie ball

Tell me a scout doesn’t think he can start. He pitched 100 pitches in relief several times. That’s just someone giving an excuse

That's his agent in his ear saying you need to start to get the most money in your future happens in all sports.
