I don't think there's much chance we land him - unfortunately. -
That's a pretty solid price to see if he has anything left.
-
I think it's just different perspectives of what "cheap" is. He's coming off an 84 wRC+, 0.5 WAR season. Nobody wants to be paying $15-$20M for that. There's just so much variance in his outcomes and so many injury concerns that his contract doesn't have the excess value it did after the 2023 season. I do think the price to acquire him has come down significantly, which is why I now think the Jays have a shot to land him. I think we can build a package around RT and land him. I don't think it's going to take Nimmala, RT and Yesavage (or something like that) to land him.
-
Yeah - that would generally be my response (although I do want to see Wagner get a shot this year). I don't think adding JDM is critical at this point. I'm OK starting the year with Wagner/Orelvis/Barger/Roden getting a chance to prove they can be ML regulars. I think there's a good chance one of them is already better than JDM. I also figured if we signed Alonso, that he would DH a lot. I don't like Vlad at 3rd much at all.
-
Yeah - I still like this option (even if I don't like weakening the farm system). I expect Bregman to sign in Detroit or back in Houston still. I don't think he comes to Toronto. I could see us add a DH type like JDM, or just go into the season with what we have and see what guys like Orelvis/Barger/Roden/etc. can give us as a starter. Not ideal, but not catastrophic either.
-
That's an odd conclusion. I mean I doubt we offered him 5 or 6 years, but I think it's reasonable to think we offered him a 3 or 4 year deal in the $70-$100M range and he decided to stay with the Mets on a 1 year $30M pillow deal.
-
2 years $54M
-
I didn't love the fit - but I loved the bat. f*** sakes.
-
Not concerned at all. The guys seem to know baseball. Looks like there is a group that rotate around and write a lot. Seemingly with aliases.
-
I'm so confused...
-
Orioles signed OF Ramón Laureano to a one-year, $4 million contract with a $6.5 million club option for 2026.
-
I hear you - adding another bat now would be preferred. I'm just saying that if it doesn't happen, it's not catastrophic or a massive failure. We still have a good team and lots will change as the season unfolds.
-
I'm just saying you can add another big bat during the season via trade. We may also be surprised by an unexpected breakout season. There is always a chance someone like Orelvis, Wagner, Barger or Rodon breakout and provide that offensive punch we need to be a true contender.
-
We can start the year without another big bat. It's not ideal (as it limits out options to trades only), but it's also not the end of the world IMO.
-
Yeah - looks like we read the market pretty good after all.
-
Does BRef even predict the WAR outcome for each player?
-
BRef is one of the worst website I've ever seen. I can't ever find what I'm looking for. It's a joke.

Oh man - that seems super affordable. Would you rather have Flaherty or Max? I think Flaherty all the way. If the Tigers land Bregman and maybe a could low cost FAs, that will be a tidy off-season from them. -
I still hate Vlad. But I believe there's a pretty good chance his bat is elite.
-
I think the bat has the potential to be so elite that you don't care about the positional and base running deficiencies. Big Papi/Manny potential.
-
Imagine a world where we sign Bregman or Alonso and then extend Vlad and Bo? It may not work out, but it would certainly be exciting.

What a joke -
Keep on cooking Ross. Now sign Bregman/Alonso, extend Vlad and maybe sign another lefty RP and call it an offseason.

Not a bad offseason for the worst GM in team history. -
O'Hoppe has the IQ of Vlad on the bases. He's 71st percentile speed. Salvy is actually slower thank Kirk.
