    Money for stadium renovations comes out of a completely separate fund than money to spend on roster related expenses.

    Maybe most baseball players don't make that, but Ohtani has left the realm of normal baseball players and entered the realm of cultural icon.
  3. max silver
    If Ohtani chooses to sign with another team then it's fine to pivot to Soto at that point.

    Connor is so dumb that even his attempts at dunking on other posters just end up smashing him in the face.
  5. max silver
    Go check for yourself if you don't believe me. ESPN reported he earned at least $35 million in 2023 alone. Whether he earns $500 or $600 million on his next baseball deal he's likely to become a billionaire at some point in the future if his money is managed wisely.
  6. max silver
    I've seen reports that Ohtani earned in the neighborhood of $40 million from endorsements alone last season, so I honestly doubt he's going out of his way to squeeze more money out of the Dodgers for his next deal. He's noted to be very frugal as well so a few extra million one way or another seems very unlikely to sway him one way or the other.

    And on top of that if he can't continue pitching it's not like he'd be immediately forced into becoming a full time DH only as he's a very good athlete who would likely be a great outfielder.

    The dude took a massive financial haircut to stay in Cleveland long term and has full no trade protection. I would wager it would be incredibly unlikely for him to agree to being moved in trade.
  9. max silver
    Yeah the dude has absolutely raked at every step along the way. All 6 of his AA home runs came in a 29 game sample as well so there's hope that there is a bit of juice in the bat. 3 out of 6 of his home runs came on the road as well so it's not as though he received a huge boost from the lefty hitter friendly home ballpark in New Hampshire.

    Thanks a bunch for sharing the top 10 list Spanky. Has BA released updated farm system rankings yet?

    I think Tiedemann is the club's most important prospect if there is to be any chance whatsoever of sustained contention. I wouldn't personally rule him to be untouchable by any means but if he's the necessary component for a 1 year rental the team needs to simply walk away.
  12. max silver
    Thankfully it was the Blue Jays prospective depth starters that suffered a litany of injuries last season vs the rotation itself. All of White, Francis, Hutchison and Tiedemann suffered from injury which limited their availability.
  13. max silver
    I don't think the Blue Jays would have the necessary trade assets available to acquire Tatis to start with.
  14. max silver
    In both of these cases the hall went against the wishes of the player.

    Dick is the new dick. Or the old dick. Or something. Can't say I'm much like Grant though. For starters I don't have an unhealthy hatred of all things Boston so that immediately disqualifies me from that title.
  16. max silver
    I can read just fine. It seems the issue may be that you have an incredibly short memory. You specifically complained about trading Vlad for a player who barely hit .200. There was literally no other substance in the post.
  17. max silver
    Imagine using only batting average as a means to evaluate overall player performance.
  18. max silver
    There's a snowball's chance in hell Carroll would have ever been on the table for any of the Blue Jays catchers.
  19. max silver
    Seems like somebody is setting himself up for disappointment.

    Kikuchi's Steamer and Zips projections each project him to take a bit of a step backwards but nothing too severe. I hope he trains at Driveline again this offseason as it helped him make a dramatic career turnaround after his first rough season with the Blue Jays. On that topic it would be amazing if Manoah were to train there as well as a few added ticks of velo would make likely be a huge difference maker for him.
  21. max silver
    I don't expect any massive drop-offs in performance, but then I wouldn't have expected Manoah to suddenly tank heading into 2023 or Berrios to struggle in 2022 so anything is possible.
  22. max silver
    I recall Keith Law said his hips were so big he had a hard time getting around on the baseball. Wasn't he affectionately known as Walrus on the predecessor to this board?
  23. max silver
    White was throwing bullets/sitting mid to upper 90's to end the AAA season so he likely has a legitimate opportunity to be the swingman/6th starter. I would guess Francis is more than likely to be stretched back out in spring training next season. He was hurt in the spring and didn't have a chance to be fully stretched out before his eventual call-up. Maybe Parsons would receive a callup before Tiedemann if he's deemed not sufficiently prepared for MLB, but that leaves him as a more likely 8th rotation option vs 6th.
  24. max silver
    It could also be something that would "normalize" given more seasons of data.
  25. max silver
    That's one guy we are in agreement on. I thought he would make a tremendous 4th outfielder/platoon bat but it's not surprising he would choose to return to the Dodgers.
