Wait, Greenwood was jariax?

Generally when fans of a team balk at moving 2-3 lesser assets for multiple years of a legit MVP candidate, they end up being wrong. Getting 4 arb years of a 6-win player is ridiculously valuable. And he'll be 33 when he hits free agency, so he'll never get the kind of mega-deal that this team finds prohibitive. There's a decent chance you're adding a franchise player who will be here for the long haul.

Really? I'd do it easily.

Would Oakland accept Lawrie, Pompey, and Stroman?

When the Jays are the healthiest org you cheer for life is a sad place.

Ryan is miscast as a franchise building block, and both his acquisition and extension were the result of desperation - desperation last year to acquire a name after Alfredsson had enough, and desperation this year to keep a player they invested heavily in. I think both decisions were poor. Last offseason was not the time for a two-year rental, and Ryan isn't a guy you build around to the tune of a 7/50+ contract. 3rd tier star for a 3rd tier org.

He's just not that good a player.

Anytime you can move three good young assets for 2 years of a one-dimensional scoring winger who isn't elite, and then lock him up for 8 years at near elite money because the optics of letting him walk would be terrible, you do it. Especially when you won't even make the playoffs in the two years you originally acquired. FML

Jose Bautista owning TSN's Steve Simmons on Twitter

Nobody looks good in this exchange. -
lol

No, I just didn't feel like a Wilson debate.
-
Yup, the BBDL is definitely a good way to gauge player values.
-
These are pretty much non-factors though. Well, Wilson is a guy I guess.
-
Yeah, I guess it is nice to have someone to bounce an idea off of. Every once in awhile I'll solicit an opinion from a 3rd party. I could never have someone making roster moves for me though.

Imagine if Pittsburgh had Bautista now? -
I don't understand the love for co-managers. I'm far too anal about this to let someone make decisions for me.
-
No.
-
There was no way to know at the time, but if I knew how good this league would be I would have paid a fair bit of money to enter. You can't find leagues this good, and it's provided countless hours of entertainment.
-
The BBDL got $100.... so more than that.
-
I wonder how many people would be interested if a DDL spot opened up.
-
Poor North
-
It looks like we're going to enter our 3rd season with all 20 original members. I've never seen anything like this before.

It's all tied together though. To quote an idiot, baseball is hard. Punting the future to open up a 3-year window is a bad strategy because things tend not to go as planned. Make your goal perpetual contention, and eventually things will go right. Reyes, Dickey, and Buehrle have performed as expected and earned their contracts, but you can't give up a significant amount of assets just to land expensive veterans who will merely be worth their contracts. That's bad business long term. and if things don't break just right in the 1-2 year window you open up, it's catastrophic. -
Can he also be ineligible to manage? That would be great.
