I wouldn't even lump Profar in that mix. 3 impact bats and one wildcard.
-
Ownership is NOT our problem. They want to win and they've given us the payroll necessary to do it. There's a lot of teams in the league that would kill to have our ownership.
-
Sign and/or trade for two big bats, a backend starter, a backup catcher, and another decent reliever or two. Obviously I'd prefer more, but that would make it successful imo.

I hate this part... we need a new name

Yeah, but we did that last year and came away with panic purchases of Turner and KK.
-
Eventually they're gonna get lucky. I could see Goldy being the one too.
-
Yes, I think I'd absolutely take on that contract (given that it's 2 years left). He's an above average bat and an above average outfielder, and we need both of those things right now. Which would you rather do, pay 4 of 5 years for one of the two FA outfielders, the last 2 years of which they're likely declining, or 2 prime years of Bellinger for the same AAV? They all likely produce roughly the same WAR.

We need to start charging other teams and players a commission for using us. -
Right? I almost wonder, given the league size, if we should be considering increasing the number of bench slots for next year.
-
I would NOT be happy with Burnes for 7/252.
-
If the reports are true that the front office had permission to bid higher on Soto and wouldn't, then it might make some sense. Perhaps this is ownership's way of prodding the front office into actually trying to land one or two of the bats we need rather than being stuck on whatever strict valuation they're using.
-
That Steamer comp also projects the defense at very significantly below where it has been the last 3 years. If he actually hits the projected offensive numbers, he probably puts up 4+ WAR. I like Horwitz, but he's also 27 and has played a little over half a season. It's entirely possible the league adjusts and he struggles like Schneider did last year.
-
I think I'm okay with the trade. There is definite upside potential, but we desperately need multiple power bats to complement this.
-
Apparently Soto also has escalators in the agreement that can push it over 800M
-
What makes you think Quantrill can't be a reliever? He hasn't been a starter his entire career. In 61.1 relief innings, he's put up a 1.91 ERA with batters hitting .233/.316/.323 against him. His xFIP isn't as rosy, but he's one of those pitchers with some wicked secondary stuff that can be used much more frequently out of the pen.
-
Even at $15M, is it really all that bad? There's a reasonable chance he averages 2.5 WAR for the contract length.
-
The Raps need a few practices devoted to fixing their free throw issues.

Kirk is roughly equal to Moreno. You can hate his weight, and I'm not sure I'd want to bet on him as he gets deeper into his free agent years, but he's a lot more valuable than people give him credit for. He's a legit starting catcher. IMO we absolutely need 2 legit big bats. Maybe not Soto big, but well above average. Ideally it would be LF and 3rd (or possibly 1st if we're sure Vladdy can handle 3rd full time), with Clement sliding into a super utility role. -
My issue right now is injuries to top players. I'm just hoping I can tread water until I get a few of them back.

Wasn't it KK who talked about the next level scouting reports and game plans from the Dodgers? If I'm the Jays, I think I look to hire him to improve those aspects. He can help out with the MLB team and prospects as well. -
I would not be surprised to see the Yankees walking away from the contract.
-
It's not like it's a terrible contract though. The negative value is because of the DH positional WAR adjustment, which IMO doesn't mean much when evaluating a DH. He's still a well above average bat.
-
A one game ban is egregious. I have no problem with them going for the ball while it's in the air and it's not clear if it's in the field of play (within reason), but actually holding his wrist / glove, bending it back, and ripping the ball out could have seriously hurt Mookie. They should get a minimum of a 5 year ban from all stadiums and never be allowed a seat in the first 3 rows again.
-
Make sure you check your lineups. I set mine last night and it had reverted when I checked this morning.

Good luck everyone!
