What Matheny did to Siegrist should entitle Siegrist to restitution.
He treated him worse than Bowman and poor Bowman looked about ready to start lobbing them in their lefty because his right arm hurt so bad. His return last year was just excruciating and not just because we knew what was going to happen.
It was just sad watching the dude try to throw. You could see that his arm was just in tatters and that he was trying all kinds of weird shit with his delivery to protect it. He was all but shot putting the ball up there at times to avoid stressing that shoulder any further.
But man, Siegrist was a monster and Matheny absolutely torched him. Probably cost him a deal not unlike what Miller ended up getting. Siegrist is $20+ million poorer because of Mike Matheny.
