Bo or Vlad?

[Spanky99]

I can't wrap my head around $300+ M for Bo. I know he rakes. I don't care much what SDP does to blow their own brains out on.

 

Its not totally apples to apples given service time/sample, but if you look at the Wander Franco signing at the time where the 2 players were at, Rays paid 11/185 (option tacked on) for a switch hitter who is 2 years younger. This year Wander has been worth more WAR than Bo.

 

Given Wander's D numbers are > Bo, its fair to suggest there is a higher probability he can play longer at a premium position, which you pay extra for. Bo is 28 when the 2026 season begins in year 1 as a FA. I think you have to factor in that you are paying, in Bo, for a guy that you know has to move to 2B before too long into the deal.

 

That's not how it works though, you know that. Franco's agent wanted a quick payday, he should be kicked to the moon. lol

Sr. or Jr.?

 

some crafty negotiating. Tell him we agree to match the Tatis contract..and slip in 4 years $14M

it's also not apples to apples because they offered Wander that extension when he had less than 1 year of service time. There is no way in hell Bo would have signed anything like that IMO

 

I know and said that....its obvious. but 185 to 300+ is a big lift. I pointed out offsetting factors to that fact IMO. We are where we are. What Bo's wants is one thing and what we want to do is another.

LOl, ya maybe.

Bo won't be loyal to the Jays like Vladdy will be. It will be all about the money for Bo like he indicated in the past.

 

Maybe Jays FO is banking on the fact that most other teams in the running won’t see him as a SS. I could see him choosing to stay with the Jays if the money is close but they guarantee him the SS spot

Some teams yes

 

Yankees have had worse middle infielders than Bo and they would love to have his bat. Curious how Volpe does over the next couple of years...

Oh god... short-haired Bo on the Yankees is nightmare fuel
