Yeah I guess I wouldn’t bet either way on how it will go. You’d think they’d try to squeeze something out the deal with him going somewhere else, but then there’s just cutting bait, which has its appeal to them as well I’d assume
Probably 194 was too much but it’s just the number of games he missed. I’m not sure if there was a negotiation like there was in the D. Watson case with the NFL after the arbiter ruling, but seems like what a settlement would look like. MLB signing off on it, even with a statement they wished it was more
Well it’s you want to be all statsy, Manoah is projected for a 4 FIP so one might say yeah, we should trade high
I personally like him and think he’s a FIP beater but I also lack objectivity being a fan
Three years ago you probably wouldn’t trade Nate for just about anyone. If you can get an AS-level mlb player for 3 years on the cheap, it’s worth considering most guys.
BR seems to have a few different outcomes though. I don’t know enough to have an opinion
As the anti-me Hurl explained, SF wouldn’t do anything to burn that bridge. Now it’s with a small-time FA like Conforto but next year it may be a big name. There was no backtracking with CC, just fell apart; no one’s fault really
That’s what I’m saying. It’ll be nice to spell Springer during the regular season in CF to keep him healthy, but come playoff time, optionally he’s in CF where you won’t miss a beat defensively. And you have corner OF that can hit too
Who would buy a house now though, idk. Better off waiting 1 year at this point. Can’t get worse but could get a whole lot better… buyer perspective I mean
Sometimes players accept a lesser offer. It wasn’t seemingly at that stage though, just the desire for an extension if you will. They pivoted to a great plan B, even if for a little less, rather than play it out
Yeah, little slip on Laila’s part. This would replace #2 on his list but everything else would be the same. The GM isn’t able to unilaterally sign a $360m contract unless it’s the owners kid or something
Even if the conspiracy theory is true and front office didn’t want him and used the medicals to slip out, that would mean ownership signed them but got talked out of it when the medicals came back. Not buyers remorse. Ok a $360m contract and all that goes into that and change your mind 2 days later
It could drag out a couple weeks and the Mets could do something different. There’s nothing by either account saying they were not going through with the deal, only that it hit a snag
