    Salaries have not been very depressed this offseason and not depressed at all for top end talent. Look at Springer, Realmuto, Hendriks.
  2. Laika
    If Arenado was a free agent this offseason isn't the starting point for him the Rendon deal???
  3. Laika
    Baseball commentary is so frustrating. In what world is $4M extra (or whatever) "blowing everybody out of the water"???
  4. Laika
    FWIW most of Springer's 2021 projections are better... that neutralizes some of the age difference
  5. Laika
    The most complicated trade in baseball history?
  6. Laika
    Vlad his very good projections, lmao

    Rockies = Dumb is the assumption but we need to wait for all the details. Maybe there are some real nice lottery ticket prospects in there, or an additional major league piece... I dunno.
  8. Laika
    Okay so it makes more sense now. Rosenthal is saying Arenado would keep his opt out after 2021 and GAIN an opt out after 2022. The Rockies eating $50M probably only applies in some complicated way if he does not opt out... Or maybe some of it applies in 2021 regardless. We will see. That would justify the s***** return because STL likely only gets one year of Arenado.
  9. Laika
    None of it makes sense. Either the cumulative reporting is in error OR the Rockies are just making an all time horrible deal. We will see tomorrow.
  10. Laika
    Get German Marquez!!!!! Trade Groshans
  11. Laika
    Jesus f***ing Christ... Did the Rockies get desperate? Did Arenado get desperate? I did not expect him to restructure his contract..
  12. Laika
    Projections exist and they are smarter than you and I
  13. Laika
    You can say whatever you want. It doesn't make it right. We care about how good the players will be going forward, not what their ERAs were last year
  14. Laika
    Every team is going to be very worried about innings increases from 2020. At this point it seems like Toronto is planning on using a huge line of starters and moving people in and out of the pen/rotation (or up and down from AAA) all year. And doing lots of piggyback games. And skipping turns. Don't expect any 33 games started or 180+ IP guys
  15. Laika
    Lol, no he wouldn't. He might even be their sixth best behind Ryu, Pearson, Stripling, Matz, and Ray. Really it would just be a five way tie for second best. Walker would just be another body in the pile.
  16. Laika
    As far as I can tell, many teams are skeptical of his defense so the point that they don't think of him as an OF on any future contract. The talent comparison is JD Martinez of three years ago. That means the open NL DH question has severely chilled his market. There are also exactly zero competitive AL teams looking to land a big money DH/LF.
  17. Laika
    hmmmm i wonder why
  18. Laika
    Hard to tell. Uniform vs. gym clothes. He looks like a fatty in both videos, sorry. Not that there's anything wrong with him. Captain Kirk is fine the way he is.
  19. Laika
    I don't get the excitement. He looks like s***
  20. Laika
    They are attempting a skinny rebuild. Shed payroll and get some farm injections but still try to sneak into the playoffs.
  21. Laika
    Really cool that he keeps finding a way to help that team. I thought Wainwright was done four or five years ago. 2015 - achilles rupture at 33... career over? 2017 - bad ERA, velo below 90... career over? 2018 - elbow inflammation keeps him down for a long time... career over? 2020 - pandemic that kills old people... will he survive?
  22. Laika
    Yeah it was recently mentioned that Merryweather has an extra option for some arcane reason. Not that he should be in AAA... he might be the team's best reliever/opener.
  23. Laika
    Diaz is a way better arm. He was 60 FB against the O's in that one game, with a hard changeup that flashed some wicked movement. I could see him developing into a useful reliever. In Japan.
  24. Laika
    I don't even know why people think SRF has good reliever potential anymore. It's like a 55 velo fastball out of the pen, no command, and I don't even think he has good spin. It's AAA stuff. I think he's cooked.
  25. Laika
    He's nothing like the Jays other targets. Matz has a traditional pitch mix and has shown strikeout ability and control, Robbie Ray has been a very good starter before and has extreme K ability. Chad Kuhl is like the type of guys Toronto would acquire to stick in the pen. He's basically Tyler Chatwood.
