  1. Some deferred money is included. Pop off Ross.
  2. The spray chart, particularly the homer one is very pull-heavy, I could see him outperforming xwOBA at least to fall in line with his 120 wRC+ projections. He hits the ball very hard and often in the air. The RC has more favourable power dimensions even post-remodel than Candem Yards did the last few seasons, for a pull hitter.
  3. The Dodgers about to have the best IL rotation of all-time by midseason.
  4. The Minter deal? If so that's being discussed in the Other Baseball board.
  5. You are absolutely pulling this out of your ass lol. Bassitt has always been realistic about the outlook of the team, doesn't mean he wants out. He's been a consummate professional through and through.
  6. I mean $2M in international bonus money is a lot, Sasaki be damned. When you can only acquire up to 50% of your initial, this basically is that amount. That's one big lottery ticket or a collection of a few decent ones.
  7. Nice article Jesse, really shows just how south everything went last season. Worst RP corps in franchise history lol, figures given how our luck went in 2024. Gaining essentially 4-5 wins on regression to the mean alone is massive, and hopefully the group has enough potential to put in a solid season on top of that. Insane that we could add as many as 6-7 wins to the 2024 record in the bullpen without even putting up an outlier type season. Oakland at 4.5 fWAR as a reliever group was 9th in baseball in 2024.
  8. He'll definitely be in the mix, but it's Bradley Zimmer 2.0. The man just ran a 72 wRC+ in a full season at AAA with legit 20 grade power. I'd probably rather Lukes, Clase or Berroa at this point over him. He does have options at least I guess? He better not be taking up a 40-man roster spot.
  9. Jeez I didn't realize he was that expensive. Would be a rather puzzling use of resources given our limited budget.
  10. Yeah this is obviously true. Although it didn't even serve them all that well in the playoffs, they had to trade for Jack Flaherty and run bullpen games every other matchup. They won so obviously it wasn't crippling or anything, but I'm sure it hurt their odds going into it. Their depth is enviable but the volatility in their rotation due to health is astounding. Out of those 15 MLB calibre pitchers I'm not sure you can confidently claim 2 of them will be healthy come the playoffs.
  11. It's kind of hilarious how going from a 3-horse race to 2 actually made it infinitely more likely that the Dodgers are signing him and we got f***ed again.
  12. An Alonso signing on its own prior to a Vlad trade would kind of be putting the cart before the horse right? It more or less signals the end of Vlad's tenure here, but if that deal isn't completed then it kind of hurts our leverage since teams would more or less know we have to get rid of him. Unless, we just sign Pete to be a 1B/DH partner with Vlad? Both Alonso and Vlad might genuinely gain defensive value by not ever taking the field.
  13. Nobody wants to give Alonso 5+ years or a $100M+ deal. It's likely that he ends up with the Boras special of a 3 year deal at like ~$25M per with opt outs after each season.
  14. I've seen enough of these former Toronto reporters throw their body on the line only to be wrong to frankly put no stock into a tweet like this. Might as well be coming from some random account with 3 followers.
  15. Burr projects extremely well. Like, third best reliever in the bullpen good. Of course the lack of track record means the s*** can hit the fan very easily just like any other reliever, but he was borderline elite last season. Should just about have a guaranteed spot in the 'pen to begin the season assuming no injury or stuff backing up.
  16. Vinnie projects significantly better although plays in an awful park and the recent track record says Naylor has been better. I'd probably trust the projections though since there's a chance Naylor keeps getting bigger and losing out on PT.
  17. Not that I want to start this argument back up, but if all of these things happened then surely Ross would be the right guy to stick around for it? It would mean he made all the right moves and the state of the franchise would look a lot better. Unless we just truly believe his development track record is irredeemable and there's no amount of downstream hiring that can solve the problem. It's not like we're in this spot because Ross keeps swinging bad deals, it's just our drafting and development under his tenure has been woeful.
  18. Room for Gimenez + Sandlin right? I think he got DFA'd as part of that deal.
  19. Would rather Bregman at that point unless Alonso is a much smaller/cheaper commitment - which he might be. Vlad's arb salary would be absorbed by Bregman's so not adding too much to the budget, and Vientos is league min.
  20. The Mets have some intriguing prospects. I wonder if they would part with Vientos for Vlad, it would be a massive overpay on their end, but they have the money to retain Vlad and Vientos is destined for 1B/DH anyway as a worse offensive talent. Would be best case scenario for us to maintain competitiveness while trading away a player of Vlad's caliber. Miss me with Brett Baty unless he's a thrown in.
  21. RobinThicc going on his Kevin Gray arc. We wish you well in your future endeavours.
  22. I agree. Honestly the league hitter ish part might be what we need to hope for at this point. The expected metrics think he's horrendous, but he does have the raw power to just kind of luck into league average production, and he's a good enough runner who "hustles" to earn a few XBH here and there. I doubt he can even crack a .275 BABIP again on pure talent alone.
