The problem with Thor is that he's become a worse 'pitcher' and is more heavily dependent on overwhelming stuff than he's ever been. And if his stuff falls off, he'll have to re-learn how to pitch.
Thor came into the bigs as a finished product. Spectacular fastball command, two fully formed off-speed pitches and a good feel for pitching. He's been allowed to go fallow in NY and I think the team is afraid of working with him at this point. He needs to be traded.

hes only got 2 arb years left right? Then he hits FA? 2 years of him for 6 years of Carlson plus more players you’d rather not give up.
Thor would make us a legit contender for sure but I’d rather wait till Carlson and Gorman are here to sell the future for now trades. We are in 1st place and playing well but, no one in this thread thinks we are ready to beat LA in a playoff series. DJ, you think Thor allows us to beat LA in a 7 game series?
