How much velocity has he lost?

I went to his final spring training start when they played the Braves here in Disney, and he topped 91 only once (93) His command was terrible. He had no movement on ANY of his pitches. They hit 3 bombs off of him, that managed to go foul. Even his outs were hit crazy hard. I lost hope right then and there.

His velocity isn't down that much from his peak. I think it's mental. He never recovered from blowing game 5 against the Royals.

Because starting pitching is still at a premium. My guess is boras has some teams lined up who think they can fix his issues.
And they probably will. Knowing our luck he’ll end up being a reliable second starter for another team and get a ring before we do.

Though if I was a team I'd be side eyeing how even calloway, a pitching coach now manager doesn't even want anything to do with him.

He let success get to his head. NYC will have all the way fukked up. Son lost out on a fat contract.
Nah can't even blame that, it's not like doc or straw where the argument could be made the NYC lifestyle got to them. Though in docs case it probably had more to do with the absurd amount of innings he threw at such a young age. Harvey got dealt with thorasic outlet syndrome, it's a freak injury and has an incredibly poor track record of pitchers making back. Harvey is an a$$hole but he got dealt a fukking horrible hand with that injury, If we're playing poker her got dealt a 3 and one of those 20% off bed bath and beyond coupons you get in the mail type bad.

No it's down a lot from his prime. In his prime he was sitting 95-97 and hitting 98. Now he is sitting 90-91 occasionally hitting 93-94 with no movement and poor location
