Oof... RIP Jimy.

[Spanky99]

obviously not that hard, haha

 

Buster Olney, lmao.

[Spanky99]

Best bat moved at the deadline was Pham who probably ends up blocking Schneider, thus causing us to miss the playoffs altogether.

 

Term is right ^^^^

 

In hindsight, mind you I was in on Pham's bat. It is what it was...

[Spanky99]

Who is flexing?

 

Buster Olney just decided to use the words "went hard" in his article

 

Probably a side effect of his Cialis

 

The only one trying to flex here is a 3 foot bald midget.

We've got a Baerga bomb saying that we've signed Turner

"It is rumored in Toronto that Justin Turner reached an agreement with the Toronto Bluejays and will be under contract from today to tomorrow"

 

Hmm... interesting, I like that he can play some 3B in a pinch, we shall see. This is not the ISO I was expecting.

Frankly I’d be happy with any of the 3 DH bats but Soler has been a league average and below replacement level player in 2 of the last 3 seasons. He has insane power but seems to constantly under perform his metrics. Similar to Morales in the past or Guerrero today.

[RobinThicc]

Turner I guess can hit the field a little rather than JD Martinez who probably cant

[Sorrow]

Morosi is saying a one year deal is now complete.

Yeah all of these guys have serious warts. There are valid reasons that Soler has better projections than JDM and Turner, but most of that is simply age. I've never really liked or wanted Jorge Soler so the idea of giving him something like 3/$45M makes me squirm a bit. Would very much prefer to throw some money at JT or JDM for one year.

 

Kind of feels like JD Martinez is holding out for a big AAV on a 2 year deal though.

Nice

 

Curious to see the AAV

 

In an ideal world it's less than Pederson, and then we can think there might be a remote possibility of squeezing one more FA bat onto the roster

According to TSN it's a 1 year/$13M deal with an additional $1.5M is possible performance based incentives.

[L54]

Because it's true?

 

Nobody really knows anything here. Should we just shut down all conversation?

You don’t know that for sure

[wamco]

That’s highly debatable

Ya but you have no idea what the team is actually thinking behind closed doors so why would you say that? We will just have to wait and see

Conversation and stating things with certainty are two different things.

 

I can state with certainty that people here who state payroll specific things with certainty, are idiots.

I must’ve missed where anyone said they knew with certainty how much payroll was left. All I saw was people trying to read between the lines and estimate what was left to spend, which checks out so far

[BTS]

I still think they're going to add another OF. The projected bench is a bit awkward right now. You have Jansen, then probably Biggio, Clement and Espinal, who kind of bring similar skill sets to the table. Trading one of those guys and bringing in a speedy 4th OF/pinch runner type would complete the roster. Even someone like Adam Duvall is still a good fit.

DEI. Tell me otherwise

Vladdy better use this cover to hit 50 dongs this year.

 

Also, ever since The Show came to xbox, sounds of the show were removed from the game from the PS5 versions. Hopefully it's still available on the PS4. Microsoft can f*** off and die.

[Stangstag]

 

That’s… an interesting choice.

 

Could’ve gone with someone like Acuna instead if they wanted a young latino player.

Yeah, I was joking as there’s guys like Acuna and Soto that are better. It’s just an odd choice. They did really try building up Vlad all along though for whatever reason. Maybe trying to appeal to Canadian market more idk

At first I thought it was the usual "Canadian cover". Remember getting Sanchez and Donnie on our covers? Everyone else in the world had Griffey Jr, etc. This is definitely an interesting choice.

Good luck winning the Arb hearing now.

Case closed.

I figured 40m to spend in off-season after Green contract sorted out. We are right there now.

 

We have an extra infielder and could use another outfielder so hopefully a trade will happen.

 

Before offseason, I was hoping Mil would sell off Adames but doesn’t appear so which is good for MIL fans after a good season last year .

 

Barriera , Horwitz and espinal lines up on BYV and would have added 9m to our payroll (saved them 9).

You know he's having an extra helping of moms home cooking tonight!

HR Derby Champ gets the cover

[Rimar]

No impressed at all by Atkins moves this off season. He do lazy and mediocre work to improve the team. Also he was played by Ohtani agent like a noob, will go in arbitration with his best player (good luck if he want sign him long term after) Won't be surprised if he trade Tidermann and Manoah to get another OF with few years of control, but max 3 war
