At the end of the day you hope they’re healthy at the end of September and the rest of the team did enough to make the playoffs. Then you have a dynamite 1-2 punch at the top of your rotation
Pretty much. He’s going to be known as one of the greatest Dodgers ever, spend his entire career there and have a chance at a WS every year. He doesn’t need 80M to move home to Dallas and play for a bad team.
Nothing says all in like paying two 40 year olds 80M a season to pitch 40% of your games
How many starters like those two end up retiring on their own after a good season? I don’t have the answer but doesn’t feel like very many. What seems most likely is either an injury or decline in performance forces them to retire. Not a great outcome either way.
If deGrom had been healthy the last two years he would’ve got 5/225 or something ridiculous. His price reflects the injury risk
The dumb part is a team like Texas taking that risk
I can never find good CF so not too eager to move him anywhere
Was just trying to think of mid range players and pair them with good young SP’s
Jazz Chisholm or Dansby Swanson would work too
Way too many pieces
If I’m trading Mookie I want the package to be something like Corbin Carroll + Dylan Cease
Or
Cedric Mullins + Spencer Strider
Something like that
