With Springer being on a winner the last few years, with Yates signing it may help him sign here. So many players follow the money and regret it shortly after when the loses pile help.

Build a winner and they will come as per early 90s.

Problem is that our direct competition (Mets) have done bigger things, play in one of the best markets and is very close to Springer's home. We don't have much going for us in this scenario aside from being able to offer more money and term.

Money and term are 90% of the equation though.

 

And players tend to be impressed with our FO and training facilities.

Of course... I was just responding to the other poster about the intangible things where the Mets clearly have us beat at this stage.

If you are talking a 5-6 year contract, money only makes a difference if significantly more. Not like the Mets have s***** facilities and they have the "It" new owner and they are the new "It" team, even with the dick pick blip..

I don't know how this person would know but...

 

 

This guy is not a reporter or insider. I think just a blogger type. But he's always seemed like a straight shooter

I hate this sort of stuff man... always plays with your emotions. But he doesn't even seem verified... we should expect that at minimum for this sort of stuff no?

I mean he has over 1300 followers he would not steer them wrong. I will wait for Kevin Gray to confirm from the Darvish deal as well

I mean we are getting closer but I’m not taking Vendettas word as he likely does not have many ins to the company.

Oh I wouldn't either but the tweet went from a no name to someone I've at least heard before. It still has to make its way to someone reputable before I really get excited. I'll be refreshing my screen every 30 seconds now.

This is the woman who posted the first tweet about the Donaldson trade, FWIW. Something like "I hear something big is happening" on the morning of the trade.

And shut up the annoying idiots for a couple of days.

 

Pretty sure this would shut everyone up for the entire offseason. It would be all bonus afterwards even if we still have some other holes. Statkins have said don't expect everything in one offseason...
