Connelly Early breakdown: 24 years old, left handed pitcher 2.33 ERA, 0.91 FIP, 31.6 K-BB% in 4 starts in 2025 3.44 ERA, 4.61 FIP, 15.1 K-BB% in 17 starts in 2026 Plus fastball, changeup gets a ton of swing and miss Imo projects as a strong 3-4 starter I like this move quite a bit, it hurts to see Curtis Mead go, but Early is a controllable starter who raises the floor of this rotation long term. Good trade👍🏻
