Okay the Braves also sent Royber Salinas to Oakland Looks like a 70 FB 60 CB relief prospect, maybe two years away. Fangraphs says 40 FV. That makes it a bit better for Oakland, they get another lottery ticket arm.
-
Especially Walker, his statcast page is all blue lmao At least Taillon can still spin it
-
Bassitt Fangraphs projected deal: 3/$51M actual: 3/$63M Taillon projected: 3/$42M actual: 4/$68M Walker projected: 3/$42M actual: 4/$72M
-
They have this weird thing where they NEED to get MLB ready players in the deal
-
I feel like they are done with the pen unless they open up room with trades
-
By "not too bad" surely you would mean "perfect, sublime, error free, the ideal offseason"
-
Not much left to do. Just sign Conforto and tell Moreno to bring 5 different gloves to spring training because he's getting reps in CF and every infield position.
-
oh no our dwaft pick!
-
Banned Ron for being a stupid troll
-
Very easy to see him producing 6 to 7 wins and being worth this money over three years, even if his peak is behind him but maybe the best is yet to come? older guy with a deep bag of pitches. sometimes they continue to get better
-
Carlos Danger is going to cum
-
I think so Ruiz has like, 6th percentile max EV. He's a slap hitter!
-
Yeager + Muller + Contreras + Tarnok This is a weird trade Contreras has substantial value as a good young catcher. It's not often that you see the centrepiece of the trade flipped in a 3-way deal like this. Most of the time the selling team wants to centrepiece and the third team just gets involved to make the rest of it work. Esteury Ruiz SUCKS Oakland is just stupid.
-
Baseball teams are just so big. Too many contributors to be buying most of them in free agency.
-
Most of these long term contracts these days are probably thought of as just spreading out the $$ Like the Phillies don't think Trea Turner is going to be worth anything in years 9, 10, 11. I bet in their heads it's an 8 year $37.5M AAV deal, with some money deferred...
-
Not really Camilo Doval has 5 years of control so doubt they trade their closer here They have some okay platoon OFers but not worth as much as Jansen Alex Cobb is good and under control for $9M this year and $10M next ($2M buyout) I wonder if Toronto could get Cobb and a kicker
-
The single point is just that Zaidi is a cuck if he does not sign Correa. That's all I am saying.
-
Mate they project for less wins than the O's and Marlins. Barely more than the Pirates. But this has nothing to do with final standings and everything to do with resource allocation. $20M wasted on Joc Pederson could just be invested in your minor league development system. Or to bring in actually good players like Carlos Correa
-
what
-
Nobody is saying they should tank But they should piss or get off the pot Sign Correa TODAY or else trade at least a few of the old but decent players and focus on 2024 or 2025
-
Then why are they signing Joc Pederson, Mitch Haniger, Sean Manaea, and paying them along with a host of other 30+ year olds? As far I can tell they aren't rebuilding. They are "waiting to spend" and have been for a couple years. I agree they aren't good. Farhan Zaidi is fence sitting. He's trying to run a payroll outside the top 10, sneak into the playoffs, and get lucky in classic SFG fashion. Are they waiting for prospects? They have a handful of good ones but I am not sure it's a deep/elite system or anything. Harrison looks like Tiedemann; Matos and Luciano need a couple more years of seasoning. Bailey looks alright.

Yeah they can take it year to year with corner outfielders. I have no issue with that. Decent chance that someone like Barger/Orelvis/Horwitz/Brown emerges as an ostensible OF option at some point this year anyway. -
Yeah but it's the same old thing for the Giants. A collection of low-risk players on decent deals, lots of veterans.... no stars at all. The Giants need to be reeling in Carlos Correa and MORE immediately. If they don't this offseason, they really f***ed up. They need a f***ing star player or two. Their best projected bat is Thairo Estrada!

Keeping the three 3 C's would be weird but there is some merit to it Jansen is hurt half the time anyway Moreno could be given some positional flexibility - have him focus on 3B/2B/LF in the spring -

Man, a four man OF of Springer Kiermaier Gurriel one of Benintendi, Conforto, Brantley Would be very comfortable.
