Around Baseball 2022

That's a good trade for the Reds it just doesn't make sense. They also got cash considerations. My guess is that they flip Minor to another team? For more cash? So pretty much selling off Amir Garrett lol

 

Garret was projected to earn 2.5 million this year. Selling him for a more expensive pitcher seems counter intuitive

At that price Garret is a non-tender to me. Mike Minor is a 2 WAR SP on an okay deal in an inflated market for starting pitchers. I'm surprised the Royals couldn't do better than that.

It sounds like the Royals are going after Frankie Montas.

Chad Kuhl projects for a true talent 6 ERA and that's before adjusting for Coors. He's going to get destroyed

Cincinatti probably just acquired him so they could sell him for less than he's worth along with a few prospects. Can't trade prospects without a big league salary dump along with them.

Yikes. I'll probably see at least one of his starts in person.

Nick Krall appears to be an idiot

Trade two of your best position players to clear up payroll for *checks notes*... Mike Minor.

 

Good god

[BTS]

Why are the Reds keeping Castillo and Mahle? They’re going to lose 100 games a year over the next few years with or without them. Why not cash in while they’re healthy?

Someone hasn't noticed how bad Eugenio Suarez has been for the past 2 seasons.

Yeah, I don't spend as much time staring at Fangraphs leaderboards as I used to. Especially with the lockout going on.

[Jimcanuck]

Reds, Rockies, O’s, Pirates

 

Right order?

[King]

Needless to say I don't watch many Reds games either lmao.

Yeah they are doing half measures here. They need to take a page out of the A's playbook.

 

It's a shame though because I feel like with the added playoff team in that crappy division they could compete if they'd just maintained payroll or gave it a slight bump.

Weird set of moves for the Reds but also a weird set of moves for the Royals. Not sure how much cash is involved in the Minor trade but the Royals will be paying at least 5 Million more for Garrett and Greinke over Minor and Steamer projects them to be half a win worse for it. Minor has a tolerable club option in '23 too.

 

They could have just kept Minor and then used the 5+ million in FA to bring in a serviceable bat or something.

This Saturday Bro!!!

Kirby Yates is made of glass and is on the 60 day

Kirby Yates is made of glass and is on the 60 day

 

Yeah. People that wanted to sign him to another 1-year deal on the cheap are nuts

[John_Havok]

Weird fact.

 

If we assume all projected salaries for arbitration players for Cincinatti are accurate, the 6th highest salary with be paid to Ken Griffey Jr.

[Terminator]

 

Wow!

[King]

Old takes exposed for me

[King]

The Rockies are going for it

[King]

This is just mindnumbing

[wilko]

The Rockies are going for it

 

Going for what exactly?

Colorado's owner just cant stop from punching himself in the dick.

 

It's comedic how bad he is at his job. But, at least he's willing to spend money.
