I’ve been thinking this is how it will go since like last year. He just needs to hit free agency to see what he’s actually worth to the league -
Nice writeup! Im really rooting for DS and hoping he can look a bit better than he did last year. Too bad he doesn’t have a better arm for 3B because that would be a clear path for everyday play for him.
-
Welcome and thanks for having a sensible opinion. Post more!
-
Soto is way more consistent, generally has a better attitude, and took 2 teams to the WS. Vlad isn’t half the player Soto is
-
He has a vested interest in having a great season though, because he doesn’t sniff 400 mil unless he puts up like 5 WAR. So it benefits both sides for him to have a good year.
-
Also you probably have a better chance at resigning Vlad if you hold onto him vs trading him. I don’t think its a terrible move to let him play out the season.
-
They’re probably a better team THIS season with Vlad on it though. And we still have the flexibility to trade him at the deadline if we are out.
-
Everyone should watch this vid. From a few days ago too, so he was correct
-
Lots of people arguing with emotions here instead of logic. I suspect we will look back on this in a few months time (or a few years) and be very happy we didn’t sign Vlad for some ridiculous amount.
-
Don’t really agree with this. If a guy like Vlad becomes available on the trade market, you don’t pass because you signed Pete Alonso or Goldschmidt to a 1/2 year deal.
-
It entirely depends on whether he has a good season or a bad season this year. And that’s part of the reason the front office doesn’t agree on his value, because he’s been so inconsistent
-
Yeah he doesn’t even seem like he’s negotiating anything. He’s sticking to his number and thats it. fine, that’s what the open market is for. See if there’s a team willing to give you your ridiculous demands.
-
Lolll nice signal crossing
-
I suspect there ARE NO “negotiations” with Vlad. He has a number and he isn’t willing to budge. That’s not a negotiation
-
Lolll
-
Ortiz also most definitely juiced
-
If the front office meets his number, he will sign simple as that. Whether its past his “deadline” or not.
-
Lol we can dream. Atkins would still get absolutely ripped apart by the casuals even with a trade that lopsided

Oh lawd. Incoming Yankees brawl at some point this season -

Yeah. The reality is, they haven’t really lived up to expectations. We have 0 playoff wins with this core. Im not tripping over my heels screaming for the front office to sign either of these guys. Most “fans” probably couldn’t name 3 other first basemen in the league -

FWIW Davis Samson said the same on his podcast today. Says Vlad will go to free agency and realize no team is giving him 400m as an inconsistent, concerning body, 1B. But also said the self-imposed deadline is bogus and if they Jays offer him a good deal mid-season he would still take it. -
He also didn’t report when pitchers and catchers are supposed to, so I read
-
People forgetting Cora is still there. They were probably Bros in Houston
-
honestly 90/3 for Bregman is kind of a steal
