    Maybe the problem is I don't understand what you are saying. You said they were comparables, then you claimed no one said such thing, now you're back to saying they are comparables. It's hard to keep up. I don't think Vlad will get anywhere near what Soto gets. I bet it's around ~60-65% of the total money that Soto gets. I think Devers is a much closer comparable. I would even argue that Matt Olson is a better comparable, but I think the market has moved on from that deal so Vlad will get way more than that. I suppose there is a scenario where Soto comes in for Ohtani money at around 460 mil. And then Vlad gets higher than expected at 390ish? Is that what you mean? I don't see it but if that's the case I would prefer to sign Soto and let Vlad walk.
  2. Terminator
    Yeah Vlad and Soto have comparable ages and heights On the other hand Vlad's WAR output also compares to about half of Soto's and his contract will reflect that

    I think Verlander almost signed with Toronto before. You guys might be right that he's cooked though but his xERA wasn't bad. It was really only his final 30 innings of the season after returning form injury. If he wants to keep pitching I'm talking 1 year 10 mil with incentives. Something like that. Don't forget that Sportsnet cameras will shamelessly pan to his wife a dozen times every game he starts.
  4. Terminator
    Ok I agree with your overall sentiment then. The Devers contract is where I think he lands as well. But L54 did in fact call Soto a "comparable" and then you liked his post and referred to Soto (who will get 500 million) as a "benchmark". So excuse me for lumping you in there. I'll make sure to be more careful in the future. But here's a thought. If you don't actually agree with something then maybe you shouldn't indiscriminately throw around the "likes" so easily? Some people might take that as a sign that you actually agree with a post. Just a thought!
  5. Terminator
    That could be right. But before this season, people were talking about a Matt Olson extension for Vlad. Even now I still see some comparables. I think the big year in 2024 pushes him up from ~Olson to ~Devers territory, but he shouldn't even sniff a Soto contract.
  6. Terminator
    If Vlad is going to cost similar money to Soto then we should just sign Soto. I think he's looking closer to Devers money though. Maybe a little bit more as contracts tend to get larger each year and I think he might be a little younger than Devers was when he signed his deal too. But he's more of a 1B which limits his market.
  7. Terminator
    Don't be so obtuse. Here's you and jaysblue calling Juan Soto a comparable. Others chimed in with a similar sentiment.
  8. Terminator
    Nope, three people have mentioned Juan Soto as a comparable and one person mentioned 600 million.

    Games at RC are kind of turning into a summer pre-game event. Reminds me of Rockies games where they get a lot of female attendance. I think the days of completely empty stadiums are gone for the foreseeable future. Shapiro probably has a lot of rope because of this.
  10. Terminator
    I'd consider Verlander on a one year deal. Make Yariel the long man to start the year.
  11. Terminator
    Seems like a pretty overt attempt to get him to decline his option
  12. Terminator
    Juan Soto? 600 million? Surely you guys are trolling
  13. Terminator
    Go get him. 5 year contract.
  14. Terminator
    You're really misconstruing my arguments here but I agree that there is no reason to beat a dead horse I'd wish your two favorite teams, the Orioles and Braves, the best of luck but as we know, the playoffs aren't a crapshoot at all and luck has nothing to do with it Instead, I'll merely send good vibes to the FO's of both teams and hope that they followed the 2023 Diamondbacks team building blueprint, which I've been told is the secret (or perhaps unexplainable) recipe for success Cheers

    Terminator replied to Dylan's topic in Other Sports

    Agree with you on the Bills. I think they've done well to get to 3-1 but this wasn't a season where they were expected to be a top seed and make the Super Bowl so they will have games like this. They are in cap hell right now. Hopefully they can make a run anyway this year and then next year make some additions for bon a fide super bowl run.
  16. Terminator
    But I thought the DBacks were a special team that was deserving of the World Series appearance? Wouldn't a team like that at least make the playoffs the following year?

    Don Mattingly continues to consolidate power
  18. Terminator
    Buddy, you and your pals told me that I was wrong for saying all you have to do is get into the playoffs and anything can happen. You and others tried to walk this ridiculous tightrope where you claimed the D-Bags were some sort of special 84 win team that was built to make the WS and that the Jays weren't built in a way that would allow them to ever advance. Well guess what? The D-Backs continue to prove me right. And so have the Rangers for that matter. Both weren't that good last year but they merely got in and now neither is even in the playoffs. I expect full heartfelt apologies from all of you.
  19. Terminator
    Yeah that's a pretty weird move. I don't see Posey working out unless he's a closet nerd or speaks enough nerd and is willing to delegate a lot.
  20. Terminator
    But I thought none of that mattered if you didn't advance past the wild card round?
  21. Terminator
    If we keep Teo in 2023 instead of trading him for a legit setup man and then using the savings on Belt and KK we probably miss the playoffs that year. Swanson, Belt and KK all had very very good years and Teo was really mediocre. The Atkins haters have so much ammo to use to prove their points. Why they keep falling on the Teo sword when it was clearly a good trade for us I will never understand. Just let it go fellas!
  22. Terminator
    Wow! Crazy how the WS teams last year just didn't look so hot this year. It's almost as if the playoff are a crapshoot.
  23. Terminator
    Using Teo's 2024 numbers to argue about a 2023 trade is some real slapdick logic lmao
  24. Terminator
    This is why it's important to try and field a winner. We sucked ass after the 90s championships and the fanbase dwindled down to almost nothing. All it took to build it back up was to make the playoffs a few times in the past ten seasons. We've now got a pretty darn good fanbase. 9th in attendance for a last place team is great.
  25. Terminator
    Swanson might be back. In his last 14 appearances (12 IP) dating back to August 23rd: 12.0 K/9 2.25 BB/9 1.50 ERA 2.33 FIP Was a possible non-tender candidate but I think it's an easy decision to bring him back now. Could be huge for the '25 bullpen.
