I'm assuming we have him quite awhile due to pre-arbitration years right? If so, I'm excited to see what he ends up doing in the long run.

Yeah through 2023 I believe. You can't just bank on tonight, there are many pitchers who actually threw no hitters and never amounted to anything long term, but he has some good movement on his pitches and 3 of his 5 starts in KC have been very solid.
It's looking like Dayton did a pretty good job on that Moose trade. In a time where nobody gets anything decent for rental players anymore, he may have gotten two major league players with upside for a guy we signed for $6 million. Time will tell.
