    Someone needs to run the financials What was 2024 opening day payroll, what is the projected 2025 based on current players, so how much money is there to work with
  2. Laika
    Digging into these players more, I think they are nice pieces but probably all guys who will live on the tail end of the 25 man roster. Bloss in MLB has been mostly fastball (44%) and slider (34%). By Stuff+ those pitches are a 99 and 115. That is decent, but neither is an obvious plus pitch or a difference maker pitch. The fastball velo is not plus. Yes he was rushed to the big leagues and could use more development but he's also a physically mature 23 year old. This is an SP5, SP6 type without more development and the ceiling is probably only an SP4 and that is if he can improve (add quality third pitch, bump up the velo, add other fastballs, etc.) Loperfido is a bit old at 25 and his K rate ballooned in AAA starting in 2023, which continued into 2024. The hit tool issues are real. His probable outcome is a platoon LF/RF/1B. He may be able to add some value on the bases and on defense which helps but offensively this might just be a Jake Bauers archetype. Wagner has no power or speed and the defense is below average per scouts. So unless the hit tool is nearly Luis Arraez level, it's not an MLB profile.

    So Kikuchi got a better return than Flaherty? Hahaha
  4. Laika
    They should just eat all of KK's contract if that is what it takes to get him on a contender
  5. Laika
    Yeah their numbers suck eh They were all hot s*** in the offseason. Well, Snelling was. Pauley was a popular sleeper.

    Trevor Richards was a f***ing good soldier I will kind of miss him. Respect.
  7. Laika

    Truly pathetic, what the Os are doing Embarrassing
  16. Laika
    yes it's a lot like the Vlad hate from last year and some of this year, when everyone thought he was broken forever
  17. Laika
    Love to see the Os finally blow some of their prospect capital that + some guys that smell like busts (Holliday, Povich) and maybe they won't be amazing for 10 years. maybe just 5 years.
  18. Laika
    Something like 8 years at $27M per year, including 2025. He would be 33 in the final year of that. If he is still good, he would have a chance to tack on one more decent contract. That's still an uncomfortable amount of money IMO. For a fat guy with no defensive value and a track record of obesity issues.
  19. Laika
    You can't really look at the money on the Alvarez thing because three of those contract years were salary controlled already. But his AAV for the three years of free agency he gave up is $26M on the deal. That's instructive. Freeman - $27M Olson - $22M I dunno man. Vlad would be insane to turn down $200M.
  20. Laika
    wake the f*** up and make some trades everybody!!!!!!!!!
  21. Laika
    Bloss should be in AAA learning/developing because we need him to throw harder and develop a better third pitch. Otherwise he's just Bowden Francis.
  22. Laika
    Agreed. Nick Senzel and Forrest Whitley types. Maybe a bit of Jo Adell and Keston Hiura. Or a sprinkle of Taylor Trammell, Eloy Jimenez, Brendan McKay types. Real high end top 20 dudes. Cater Kieboom types also float my boat. Alek Kiriloff, Cristian Pache types. Sixto Sanchez types. Gavin Lux types. Victor Robles types. Brent Honeywell, Luis Urias, Vidal Brujan, Brendan Rodgers, Michael Kopech. Those types. (these are all 2019 top ~30 prospect lol)
  23. Laika
    This is kind of a nightmare scenario though right Shapiro and Atkins being left to handle this crucial trade deadline and then allowed to go balls out in free agency?
  24. Laika
    after his monster day "3 WAR" Vladdy is now on a projected pace for between 4.1 and 4.6 WAR
  25. Laika
    Franchise altering trade!!!!!!
