It's a new forum and almost a new year. Not directing at anyone in particular, but can everyone at least attempt to turn over a new leaf and stop with the constant bickering? We are all too old for th

Flaherty and Profar would both be good signings. High upside and no QO attached. They'd be my targets. But Pivetta and Tony Taters (Santander) are almost underrated at this point. The QOs suck bu

I feel that's literally giving a GM no credit, where credit is due. He doesn't just print contracts for people to sign who want to play here.   I think there's a lot of reasons players choose not to

Yankees go from one cooked old 1B to another

 

Ah no risk for them really. They don't need Goldy to be one of their main bats in the lineup. If he bounces back somewhat and gives them 2-3 WAR with similar offensive numbers like in 2023 with a 122 wRC+, that's plenty. Only a one-year deal worth $12.5M so if he doesn't pan out, he's off the books in 2026.

I don't think it's a bad deal. There's no real risk. But most likely outcome is probably just like a 1-WAR season with something around league average offense. Boring. He also might be completely cooked.

Holy crap there are still 3 guaranteed years left on the Stanton deal lol

 

He'll probably get to 500 career HR's with them as long as he gets around 450 AB's per season.

 

600 looks tough but it's within reach if plays until he's 40-41.

Yeah he could be very well cooked. Last two years he's been in a steady decline and is 37. Prime Goldy was such an awesome player.

If he gets there its going to be an interesting look into whether 500 is still an auto-HoF ticket. He's not a HoFer to me.

Yeah I doubt he even cracks a 50 career WAR when all is said and done.

Stanton at least when healthy has still been productive for them.

 

He would have been second in HR's on the Jays team this year with 27. Vladdy was the only Jays player who hit above 20 HR's last season lol.

 

^this guy will bitch about the Springer contract but will tongue the Yankees over their 300 million dollar man giving them about 1 WAR a year

Goldschmidt showed signs of life and put up a 120 wRC+ in the second half. The Yankees seem to have a lot of success helping turn guys around at the plate and based on his expected stats Yankee stadium would add a handful of home runs onto his record so the Yankees may get decent value out of this signing.

f***, Rickey Henderson passed away. One of the greatest ever.

 

 

Seems somehow surreal that he would pass away the same year the Oakland A's would also pass away, in a manner of speaking.

 

RIP Ricky, you were an original.

TBH he was a guy you kinda loved to hate but always exciting to watch. The talent was so immense.

 

It WAS a little weird when the Jays suddenly had him and my dad and I had to cheer for him. But you know.. . World Series #2.

Naylor to the Diamondbacks

 

The Diamondbacks are acquiring first baseman Josh Naylor from the Guardians for right-hander Slade Cecconi and a Competitive Balance Round B draft pick, according to a report from ESPN’s Jeff Passan

Never once mentioned his contract. I just replied to a post saying that out of all the washed up vets that Yankees have gone through, he still has been somewhat productive.

 

Contract aside, Jays could use a bat like Stanton in their lineup. He would be their second best power hitter lol.

Is it just me or is that a light return for Naylor?

 

Naylor contract:

 

1 year left at 14.2M and possibly a comp draft pick if they qualify him
