Trevor Bauer to the Dodgers for WAY too much money.

[Spanky99]

Yeah, I'm gonna need Rosenthal or Passan to confirm it first, but if true, thank god. Good for the Mets.

 

Now let's hope the other FA starters sign

 

This... don't trust that meathead, he's looking for clickbait.

[G-Snarls]

Nightingale is such a premature...

[Spanky99]

lol

[G-Snarls]

Was Stroman just f***un around or really pretty much leaking it

[Jays24]

knew i should have added a boob nightengale asterisk, lmao.

 

lol

[saskjayfan]

Yup, nice net to own. Risky AF for the team. Interesting.

 

Imagine getting Bauer @ 100M his UCL blows up 120 innings into the year. 100M for 120 innings and a Rehabbed Bauer for the entirety of the contract. Welp!

 

That's nothing compared to the Cole risk the Yankees are taking on. I get it Cole is better, but if he blew out his shoulder next year he still has almost 300 mil on his deal left. Any deal for a pitcher is scary. Some work out though.

[Abomination]

Knew I should have added a Boob Nightengale asterisk, lmao.

 

Now we just need him to sign with us! It feels like we're owed being on the other side of that

[saskjayfan]

Hazel Nightengale jumped the gun. Come on Dodgers, jump in and steal him away now..lol.

[jerb]

[BTS]

Nightengale has really embarrassed himself over the last few days.

[Krylian]

It'll be the Mets. What are the odds another deal is f***ed up like us and Brantley

[saskjayfan]

Nightengale has really embarrassed himself over the last few days.

 

That seems awfully polite....the last few days..lol.

USA Today deserves better

Have we gotten confirmation from a reliable source that the Dodgers are the 2nd team?

I see where you're headed with this. You think Alpha Atkins might be hunting big game again.

[G-Snarls]

It must suck being a Pirates DBacks or Rockies fan right now. It's early February and you already know you have zero chance this year

[G-Snarls]

Have we gotten confirmation from a reliable source that the Dodgers are the 2nd team?

 

No.

Loll I'd like to have 0.1% belief in that possibility

[itaos]

Mark Feinsand reported it, I've no clue if he's near the Rosenthal or Passan level of credibility

[saskjayfan]

Loll I'd like to have 0.1% belief in that possibility

 

Met's fans head's would explode if we stole Bauer and Springer from them. Not likely to happen, but one can dream.

I mentioned us at the beginning of the thread.

Nightengale has really embarrassed himself over the last few decades.

Ya he has. What’s the upside to being “first” to break a signing? It’s zero when you continually pump out false info

[AdamGreenwood]

Bauer is my favourite player in the league but I have no interest in him at that price.

 

Same. I love Bauer.

But I actually think 4 years for $120 million is fine, especially if he's planning on pitching every 4th day.

Could see a lower AAV, with a significant bonus structure, if he actually pitches as many innings as he's planning.

[vaff]

Wish this guy would sign somewhere already. I’m so sick of him and his desperate need for attention.

I feel the same way. Bauer to the Mets. That could be fun. So Stro, we're going to bump you from your start. Bauer's pitching in your spot. His body is feeling good and he wants to go on 3 days rest. I mean, what could go wrong there?

Stroman would tell them he wants to go Evey 4th day too

 

Rest Doesn't measure heart!

[Jimcanuck]

Bauer wants to blow out his arm, collect $120M, and spend his days trolling and messing with drones.

It would probably be more of an issue if the Mets had the best pitcher on the planet, and throwing his schedule off might not make sense.
