  1. Not disputing this. However, if you go to Baseball reference, and MLB trade rumors the day he signs the contract, it will still say 10/300. You are actually makeing a good case for my point that Vlad will get $300m or north of.
  2. Others were saying $200 million, hence I used the $20/10.
  3. No doubt there will be deferrals. Regardless, it doesn't affect total over all contract value the year signed. A $300 million dollar contract is a $300 million dollar contract at present day value, even if deferred over 20 yrs. Correct, the AAV value will not be equal to date signed in 10 yrs. However, we are discussing the present day number it would take.
  4. Olson was 2 yrs older correct? He also had a really down season before he went to the Braves. Not looked at the same as Vlad as hitter.
  5. Yes. That is why he won't do some 10 yr at $20million. Some guys will take the length at a lower AAV for security. I don't think Vlad will care about the security aspect. He will want length and at a higher AAV because he thinks he is worth it and his age.
  6. Some teams will offer 7 yrs and then the team that will offer 10 will get him. I don't think you will see less than a 10 yr contract for a 26 yr old. FYI- I am in the trade camp, I was last year and at this years deadline. I am just stating that if the Jays sign him to an extension, it won't be for less than $200 million and closer to FA he will get well north of that also.
  7. I agree 100% on this. However, everything points to he wants to be paid as one as you have mentioned. As such, I am worried about Rogers with stadium renos and season ticket sales in mind, and Vlad being the face of the franchise, doing something stupid.
  8. How many times (EVERY YEAR) are analysts blown away by the size of the contracts for superstars... Prince Fielder, signed a 9 yr $214 million dollar contract in 2011/2012. How are you going to tell me that in 2024 it will not be at LEAST 35% more expensive in 2024/2025/ going into 2026 season. That is $300 million just based on inflation. I would also bet Vlad would want more than 9 years. It would be a minimum 10 yrs I would wager.
  9. Judge. Probably just used SF as leverage.
  10. Paul Beeston, is that you?
  11. Mayo to the show!
  12. Ross and I attend the same Jane Austen book club meetings every Tuesday evening. After the meeting we usually go to Starbucks and Ross has a lavender oat milk, cinnamon dolce latte and we talk baseball. I have told Ross numerous times, hope, is NOT a strategy. He just does.....not..... listen.......
  13. Agree we should not be here. But what would have been 100% worse is holding on to guys for a lost season. At least they did the right thing, considering. I thought they could have gone further. But they did all right with what they did.
  14. I actually thought it might be higher than +30. Does that include today's game?
  15. He needs to win the Platinum glove for LF & CF!
  16. This Teams' run differential and additional losses without Varsho would be astronomical. He has seriously saved them probably 50 runs so far this year. I know there a stat that (tries to) tells us, but damn he has saved a lot!
  17. I think you can both set him up for success and test him. I used to be the guy who would say hit a spec or young new guy in the order, thinking they were our salvation. I am not Cito Gaston or anything. I have just seen time after time young guys fail after a trade in a key spot. They put too much pressure on themselves to impress their new Team/fans. Ease him in, let him get over that, and then move him up based on results. Not a huge deal, just think unnecessary pressure.
  18. Going on record saying not in favor of Loperfido hitting 2nd. The two spot is where you put one of your best damn hitters. They did this to Varsho with the cleanup spot when he first came over. These are young guys who will have a lot of pressure to perform for their new team that traded for them. Ease them in the first few games and don't throw them in a key line up spot. Not like it is a playoff game etc. I just think they talk about setting up guys for success. The flip side is he is hitting in front of Vlad, so he will see pitches he might never see in the 7th spot. Just not a fan of throwing guys into the fire right off. It normally doesn't work out that well. Rasmus and Varsho come to mind off the top.
  19. Apparently the Yankees originally had a deal in place and pulled out over medicals. That explains why he was pulled from the game on Monday and a deal didn't go through to literally 5 mins before the deadline on Tuesday.
  20. I would wager that due to the age and milage of both Bassitt and Gausman, and the fact they have been remarkably healthy the past two-three years, that one is at least going to have an IL stint or regression. Just the way of SPs in that age range.
  21. I hope not. Nothing here is franchise altering.
  22. Do you remember they were forced to forfeit their 1st and 2nd rnd picks in the 2020 and 2021 draft. I think they are doing pretty well considering.
  23. Have you read about Winkers’s time in Seattle, and why they wanted him gone. I don’t want him anywhere around our impressionable youth.
  24. Actually, JPR was on the radio talking about the Halladay situation the other day. Ownership forced the FO’s hand . The FO went to Halladay and said we have to rebuild, that’s not what we promised. We will trade you to a contender, which teams are your preference.
