HODL. Let them keep going crazy. Half of those contracts will look terrible in year 2.
I like that we’re being creative. Murphy or Grandal or one of the Bluejays catchers. Benintendi or Conforto or an Arizona OF or Bryant. Lots of...
1 year $18 million. Fine with that. Buys you another year if he can reclaim who he was in 2021.
Like the idea of Bryant + prospects. I don’t think 6/$158 is a bargain, but in this market it’s not really an overpay either. I’m guessing...
Im absolutely fine with that. More often than not, it’s about the moves you don’t make.
Probably. I don’t expect us to have the highest or even 2nd highest bid. 4/$120 is his “fair value” IMO. He is a ToR, but not a DeGrom or Verlander.
Probably, but not from the Astros.
I wouldn’t be terribly surprised if we’re waiting on Rodon. If he‘s priority #1 and wants to be an Astro, that frees up Garcia and some prospects...
If you’re Benintendi, and you just saw Nimmo get 8 years at $162 million, you’re demanding 5 years $100 million in this market. I really think...
It’s a 6 year, $158 million deal right now. If they are kicking in a ton of cash, and the prospect haul is small, it might look like a decent deal...
interesting. Would need to be a ton of money you would think. Does the full amount count towards the tax limit, or just the net paid?
I looked at Bryant, but figured he was a no-go with that contract.
He hit .254 with 23 HRs and an OPS of .757. Had he been at Minute Maid, I wouldn’t be surprised if he would’ve hit 30 over the fence. The...
looking at his defensive stats and he looks fine. Not seeing much decline there.
For Perez, how about: Lee Barber Whitley
Legit bat. Legit defense. You’d expect the price to be reasonable, but who knows. A lot of Royals fans think there’s no way they trade him under...
Enjoy the process. Whoever we get is going to be the right player at the right price…whether that’s free agents or trades. An under the radar...
Not worried about it. Stupid money always finds a hole to drain through. This isn’t the first time teams have done this, and it won’t be the last....
He is *wisely* waiting for a team to get both desperate and stupid.
Yeah, but we’re early. We’re at the stage we’re teams have lost their minds spending crazy money. Somebody is going to slip through the cracks,...
