If he starts next year, I love this.
-
He's not getting paid that. That's roughly how much that WAR is worth.
-
I think everyone is underrating Roden.
-
Yes. Because roden would also make 800k and is projected to be a just above 2 WAR player. That's worth about 140m over his control. We COULD just get a rental reliever that is at least 90% of varland and do that repeatedly every offseason and every deadline and never get close to 140m over 7 years. That's not counting rojas. Deadline prices for relievers are high (for their war output) because its SO important when you are good. But its not important to lock that down years in advance because firstly they are variable by nature and secondly you don't want to pay deadline prices pro rated over 5 years of control for a reliever. its a bad deal in the way starters and position players generally aren't. IF they have a plan to move him back to start next year, i like this.
-
Maybe they have a plan for Varland to start next year but we aren't really that type of org usually.
-
Roden and Rojas are real prospects they spent on control of a reliever who isn't uber elite. Its dumb.
-
We paid way way way more than anyone else for comparable relievers for no reason
-
Does it? That's like what... 4% of our budget? Why would that matter?
-
Its great to have control of position players and starting pitchers. Relievers are so enigmatic, that control of anyone who isn't elite is not worth much. The only way this works is if he goes back to starting.
-
And what is the point of Vance? Is he going to DH? We have like 4 guys who rotate through there.
-
This fetish about reliever control... why would i give a f***? they are cheap every single year, year after year after year at the deadline. Just sitting there to be gotten for nothing prospects. But no, we got 5 years of control! Awesome.
-
Why would i care about 5.5 years of control of a reliever? its so dumb. This year is our shot and we prioritized 5 years of control of a god damn reliever. the yankees made trades to win the division THIS year. Our front office is fine but it is easily the worst in this division .
-
We paid way more than the yankees paid for bednar.
-
What the f***, we got absolutely f***ed on that trade.
-
Oh f***, Jax to the rays hurts my soul
-
Cashman acting like he is trying to win a pennant.
-
Texas got coloumbe for essentially nothing. Can we make a deal like that. A good rental reliever.
-
I really hope we are getting Jax, but that would be too much. Coloumbe's price was pretty cheap.
-
I was looking up possible weak side platoon bats and alex call popped up, the guy the dodgers just traded for. Or i think that's him.
-
This seems like a 40 man move, but there are other guys running out of options for that .
-
Cleveland are known as the team that extracts maximum value from trades. They are the team other teams hate trading with us.
-
You aren't supposed to win deadline deals. If you do something is wrong honestly. You are generally trading years of control for rentals. He finds good players with future value and then trades them and then repeats over and over again. Us flipping austin martin is fine, but i'd prefer if we just didn't miss on the pick instead.
-
I just realized willie castro used to play tor cleveland. We'll get him.
-
I love Preller. I'm convinced that he is just uber confident that he can replenish, And he has been mostly right. He's so off the ghoul like behavior of most of the league that i love it.
-
Yankees have a lot of games against the orioles left. Timing of deadline kind of screwed us.
