    I don't think this front office (under Shapiro) will ever sign an elite player in free agency. He's already publicly said he'd never do a player opt out (that's been included in a lot of elite player contracts), and I can't imagine he'd set the market by giving Cole the biggest contract for a P in the history of the sport. It's more likely Shatkins will want to develop stars internally and supplement with the Happ/Estrada types in free agency.

    The thing is, Osuna didn't do anything to bring this topic back into light. It was a reporter with an agenda and then a drunk AGM who didn't realize that you can't fight SJW's in 2019 and expect to come out on top. I mean I don't feel sorry for him. He's probably an ivy league douchebag and the Astros are a scum org so no pity from me, but this all seems like a whole bunch of nothing.

    Definitely need a 1B (since Vlad won't move there yet) and CF/RF (wherever Grichuk doesn't play). I think the offensive core is solid as is, as I expect Jansen to bounce back with the bat, and Vlad's offensive explosion will be glorious when it happens, but still missing a few parts.

    Yeah I think Dominic Smith would be a good target. Blocked by Alonso, good offensive skill set, and we'd be dealing with Brody again which is a plus.

    The Nats are winning this series. It's destined to be.

    Honestly, someone tweeting the DV hotline number every time Osuna pitches sounds so annoyingly 'woke' that I don't blame the Astros for being upset. Osuna did something terrible (allegedly) but to have to remind everyone of that every time he pitches is excessive as hell. Google exists. People will know what Osuna has done/been accused of. Of course, the AGM should have known better than to do that publicly. That's a battle he has no chance of winning.

    Nats looking like a team of destiny this post season.

    Jaylen Brown's contract makes Siakam's look like Christian Yelich's by comparison.

    Kevin Smith went 0-4 but only struck out once, so one of his better games.

    If the FA market is anything like the last two years, that's not a bad idea. We'd have cheap depth everywhere and some decent 2-3 WAR level starters all without giving up prospects, losing a pick, or hurting financial flexibility.

    Bautista's 2017 projection was like a 3 WAR, if I recall. Players at age 37 in the post PED era aren't easy to project. Nelson Cruz is an exception, but he's also been linked to PED's, so....

    Wow what a 9th inning. Looking forward to the WS. Pitching matchups look incredible.

    This game is going to end in 2021.

    Wow two horrible called strikes on Gardner there.

    Looking at the FA list, cheap players who would fit the DH/1B/OF mold short term: Corey Dickerson (31) Eric Thames (33) — $7.5MM club option with a $1MM buyout Brad Miller (30) Justin Smoak (33) Didn't realize Miller turned into a statcast darling this season. He'd be a pretty decent signing if he can maintain it. Dickerson is another one who looks interesting and may not get a lot of attention. Smoak would be the easy one to bring back. Likes it here and might still be a productive hitter.

    I don't agree with giving Tellez more at bats, but agree with the rest. Sign Edwin if you think there's a chance to contend in 2020. He's still a good hitter. However, the Jays have a lot of holes, and spending $10-15m (or whatever it would take) to sign a 37 year old DH when you need at least 3 SPs, a CF, a pen, etc, is kind of pointless. If you could fill all of those holes AND sign Edwin, then that's a different story, but even then as you said getting a younger talent on a longer deal (not necessarily Ozuna/Cast) would be more advantageous. A player like Edwin would have worked for the 2016 team that had a chance to contend and needed short term wins wherever they were available. I don't see it as a great fit for the 2020 team. Plus I'd prefer keeping DH open to rotate players around, especially since we don't know what shape Vlad will be in come March.

    Extending Shapiro is the most important part of the off season. Rogers better not f*** this up.

    Baseball’s popularity is declining and the fanbase is old. We need more excitement Spanks. Players need to show emotion and make it look exciting for younger viewers. The days of putting your head down and running is over.

    Houston/Washington isn’t the World Series baseball needed (Yankees/Dodgers would have been the best business series) but from a pure baseball standpoint it should be great. Cole, Verlander, Scherzer, Strasburg, Greinke, and Corbin in one series. Yanks are toast and are playing like it.
  20. glory
    Nah, baseball needs more of that. The Brian McCann's of the world are boring as hell and are thankfully going to be phased out eventually. More Correa's, Tim Anderson's, Soto's, etc, is a good thing.

    https://nypost.com/2019/10/16/mets-marcus-stroman-appears-to-love-watching-yankees-pitchers-fail/ Stroman still salty he wasn't traded to the Yanks.

    Julian Merryweather is alive in the AFL. 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K
  23. glory
    Yeah he's locked up for another 12 years and $300 million. He'll be fine.

    The moment I saw your name as the most recent post, I knew I'd get this response. Either from you or Orgfiller.

    Lot of talk of a possible rainout tomorrow in the Yanks/Astros series. If that happens, then Greinke and Verlander can go in game 4 and 5 respectively on regular rest, the bullpen game would happen in game 6 (if nec) and game 7 would be Cole again. The Yanks might really regret blowing game 2.
