Around Baseball 2023

[Jays24]

While I would agree, it should also be noted it’s certainly not the unknown gamble it was years ago. There’s at least been some sample size now to see how they translate.

 

Ya I'm not saying he's gonna be a scrub... just that 300M for a pitcher has been reserved for the Cole's of the world. There should only be a handful of pitchers that get that type of money.

The next Tanaka going to get paid.

Sleepy start to the winter meetings

 

Feels like everyone is waiting on Ohtani?

Sometimes I think we need a bit more of this with today’s superstars.

Without knowing the context of why this is happening, it's kinda pointless. It's entertainment I guess

Knew exactly which clip this was before opening it. Jimbo didn’t f*** around!

lmao what does it mean to be "way ahead of the pack" on a free agent?

 

are you outbidding yourself or something? proud to be overpaying? okay

That or he really wants to pitch in NY and it’s someone else that’s going to have to give him a silly deal to pry him away.

I think it's just the Yankees, being Yankees. The article also states...

 

The Giants are making the same claim after a recent Zoom meeting with the Japanese star pitcher and his agent Joel Wolfe. So be careful taking the Yankees’ claim at face value.

 

I think the Yankees are just jealous that the Jays are getting Ohtani, so they're trying to make themselves feel better.

Angels GM rules out trading Trout

[connorp]

I just saw the Angels GM is an old Bluejays guy from the AA umbrella.

Why would the Padres let Lugo go, seems counterintuitive, right?

Can't afford him

[Spanky__99]

Can't afford him

 

Wasn't there a cheap option they could've took, though? I might be mixing him up with someone else, going on second day with no sleep.

No, he had a 7.5M player option he declined. Padres declined a 2/32 option on Wacha.

That's it, okay thanks. P.S. I traded him to you for a song, lol.

[burlingtonbandit]

Will be interesting if all of the RSN deals falling apart has a big effect on team spending in the next couple of years. I feel like it hasn't been talked about enough.

Cashman operates in strange ways sometimes

[Laika]

I am so bored

 

Please pretty please, some big news this evening

 

I don't care what it is or what team it is

[BTS]

Is this the slowest winter meetings ever? It sure feels like it.

[Dick_Pole]

You guys sure have a interesting way of saying Cashman is an idiot.

 

What do they say about people? A person's true strength/resolve/intelligence comes out during the hard times? Hard times for the Yankees after almost finishing under .500 for the first time since I was a kid and the team's GM/FO personnel are behaving like 12 year olds. I'm confident that they are going to f*** their team up and the Yankees brand real good. Yankees are the new Knicks.

Definitely
