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

[jaysblue]

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.

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.

[thatoneguy]

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

 

[Terminator]

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

No morals at all

Lolll

Damn, RIP

[G-Snarls]

s*****

 

He was so exciting to watch

[Brownie19]

s*****

 

He was so exciting to watch

 

100% One of the best ever.

 

It's crazy to think he died after a bout with pneumonia. RIP

[The_DH]

s*****

 

He was so exciting to watch

 

Totally agree, he made things happen.

[max silver]

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.

[G-Snarls]

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

[Eat My Shatkins]

f*** sakes

[G-Snarls]

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

[G-Snarls]

I keep forgetting you can trade some draft picks now

[BTS]

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

[Masterbather]

I don't care about anything else today. Baseball lost a legend, and another piece of my childhood dies.

 

Rest easy Ricky and thank you.

[jaysblue]

Naylor to the Diamondbacks

 

Atkins loves coming in second eh!

[jaysblue]

^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

 

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.

[jaysblue]

Carlos Santana back with the Guardians. 1 year/$12M contract.

[G-Snarls]

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
