61 and 62 to Berrios

Yankees 8 years $300 Million

Top 30 overall in wRC+ of qualified hitters as a 23 year old...nice try lmao. Let reality kick in

Play the hot bat

Ignore or discount 2020, won't factor into contracts Vlad and Soto are virtually equal in WAR last 2 years, Vlad is the better defender by far, but WAR doesn't reward that value because its terrible at capturing 1B value. Vlad is an comparable hitter to Soto. GB% is only 1% off for their careers and Vlad is a better runner with more SBs this year. Vlad with better power, speed, defense, production (RBIs and R), Vlad doesn't walk as much is the difference. Get use to the fact that it isn't going to be a discount unless Vlad and Bo and the team agree to it so both Vlad and Bo can sign long term (or room to sign others). It won't be because of the weight fallacy or misplaced recency bias from this year. What he is doing this year alone is worth 20-30M a year long term. What he did last year is 30M +. It won't be add up career WAR and give x amount per WAR If you want to look at Riley's contract as comparable, it was super discounted because ATL had no more money it was pretty much the most he could get and stay with ATL. Soto is going to get a crazy amount per year and Vlad will easily get a lot. Vlad at 10/225-250M makes sense and should allow them to sign Bo, but maybe the team needs it lower. Vlad is worth 10/300M though My whole point is people not wanting a 10 year contract because of Vlad's weight his rookie year means jack s***, wanting a lower contract because he is a 3 WAR player this year means jack s*** (at minimum avg last year and this year, true long term value probably in the middle closer to last season), people should also be aware of the issues WAR has in terms of defensive value at 1B and that a gold glove winning Vlad would negate that depreciated value by WAR contract wise. If there is a discount it will be because they are allowing room for more additions/signing Bo long term Also we know what Soto turned down...not asked for

You may want it to work that way to get a lower number, but thats not how it works Last two season Vlad 9.4 WAR, Soto 10.7 WAR. Then look at how negative WAR is in general to 1B and that Vlad might be the best defensive 1B in baseball and 1 of the best hitters at 23. I get you all want the best deal possible, but thats how you lose out on stars at a young age. If there is a discount it will be mutual to sign Bo as well. It won't have anything to do with the fallacy of body type or this current season being the norm in your eyes

Do you really think a given season's WAR will play a factor into longterm contracts? If so, is Soto only going to get a 7 year 200M contract?

Would have been much much much better if HOU didn't blow it in the 8th

No one was discussing how well Springer played in the game without runners on 3rd less than 2 outs

Great win with everyone involved

Well they have the pen up already

Springer is like 0-4 in 5 PAs with a runner on 3rd less than 2 outs this series. Bo drove the run in 1 time

Took 1 pitch to fail

To feel safe we need a 20 run lead

Well Vlad did what Bo and Springer failed at again lol

Looks much better when they don't miss the pitches down the middle, hopefully they can keep that going

He took hitting tips from Bo

Wow...no fastball down the middle. Its like he getting pitched perfectly. 3-0 count and then 3 balls right on the corner. Which one should have been an auto HR lmao

What are you talking about

Until today Springer was hitting .200 the last 30 days with minimal power and a busted elbow and it would theoretically keep Vlad out of GIDP situations people complain about...won't happen, but not a terrible idea based on the theory

He asked me a question, why are you so obsessed with me, your troll account is funnier...go use it

It won't happen but I wonder what it would look like if we hit Vlad leadoff sometimes. Makes pitchers give him an AB with fastballs to start the game or they have to immediately start using offspeed pitches which most SP don't like to do
