    I think its because there's so much uncertainty around the vaccines and being able to get fans back at games in full force. Owners waited long as possible to get the most accurate view financially before committing anything to the players. Not saying I agree but that would be my guess.
  2. Jays24
    Ya this seems like the cheapest chance for us to get one. A 3/4 deal at 30+ seems like his value but I think our front office wants flexibility to spend next offseason. Let's see...
  3. Jays24
    Ya not sure why anyone would want the Angels to get Bauer who would be our rival for a wild card spot. If the Cohen financial situation doesn't constrain the Mets payroll, I think hes going there for sure. Stay in the National League if he's not coming here.

    Ya i think that's exactly how things will go. I believe McGuire is out of options so he'll be given one last chance to be the backup. If he still sucks and Kirk is tearing things up, then the obvious move is to waive Reese and call up Kirk.
  5. Jays24
    Hopefully we big boy offer either him or Paxton once Bauer goes off the board. If Paxton has a big bounce back season, we could get a pick for him too lol.

    We only have Ryu, Springer, Grichuk and Gurriel on actual contracts for next season, which is about 62 million. Think about the amount of money we'll have to toss around. It could be around 70 to 80 million...

    But every month that you can delay increases your odds of things returning to normal. There is obviously a breaking point where you can't keep delaying things and it seems the MLB has chosen that to be only 1 month. There's no prescendence for something like this, which is why I guess we have a ton of difference in opinion.

    The players are getting paid in full while playing 8 less games. How anyone could have a problem with that is beyond me. Them wanting to start as late as possible increases the chance for fans to be at games. Times have been tough for everyone so MLB players are delusional if they think they don't have to make any sacrifices and what they're being asked to do for this upcoming season is very very reasonable. If you're concerned for next years CBA then just agree to this for the upcoming season only. That will give both sides a better indication of how beneficial it is to both sides.

    Report: MLB proposes 154-game season to players' union https://www.thescore.com/mlb/news/2103892 Sounds like a perfect scenario. How can the players not accept this...
  10. Jays24
    I think we'd like to see Merryweather show he can do 1-1-1-1 for now lol. Guy is 28 and just coming to the Majors now while he's had elite stuff all this time. Poor guy can't stay healthy at all.
  11. Jays24
    There's no way he's getting anything close to 4/56.

    Shatkins have been pretty transparent about their intentions this offseason. If they said that their heavy lifting is done, I believe them. They said they want the flexibility to be able to go after some of the free agents next offseason. So I'd say there's about a 5% chance of us getting him where his market would totally have to collapse.
  13. Jays24
    Ya I agree... seems like we're gonna employ the "opener" thing and try to complete a lot of games by committee. Personally I can't stand that type of baseball.
  14. Jays24
    Hes just living up to his first name lol.
  15. Jays24
    We have a few years before our core young guys need to get paid themself. That will severely limit what we can do on the free agent market. Look at Houston, they're having a hard time keeping their current guys let alone adding new talent to their team.
  16. Jays24
    I tend to agree unless you consider the player generational (Trout/Betts/etc) Being locked into bad long term contracts is franchise crippling. It's something I can respect of Shatkins. They are financially smart even if it can piss me off when we don't spend lol.
  17. Jays24
    And Turner? Even Arod transitioned there but you know... the roids... After 1B, 3B requires the least amount of mobility on the diamond, which is why guys can play there at an older age. You just need your reflexes to be spot on, which is why we call it the hot corner.
  18. Jays24
    The part that can make it bad are the player options. If he sucks, he won't use it and if he plays great, there is a chance he opts out and leaves for almost nothing. The fact he added a player option in 2022 means he intends to probably opt out there and skip next seasons stacked FA class. That part of it makes it a lose/lose but getting 2 years of prime Arenado for what they gave up is easily worth the risk imo.
  19. Jays24
    But is the contract still 35 per with the Rockies paying 50 mill of it. That's what makes the trade for the Cards a good one no?
  20. Jays24
    I tend to agree. We will never be able to acquire an Ace at this price in a normal year. Dodgers, Yankees, Red Sox, Cubs etc. Would usually put us out of the bidding. Just don't see it happening after shatkins' comments saying the heavy lifting is done.
  21. Jays24
    I think we're all wondering what position Martin will thrive in. Really hope he can become an elite CFer since we already have Groshans to take a spot in the infield. Martin can start off as a corner OFer and transition to CF as soon as Springer is ready to transition to a corner OF spot.
  22. Jays24
    I wouldn't mind having Bauer make up 25% of our payroll. I think we just came off a season where Grichuk/Roark did the same for us last year lol.
  23. Jays24
    It sounded like he really wanted to set the record for AAV for a pitcher on a short term deal. Now whether that was reasonable or not is debatable but with him being the only ace on the market, there was a chance it could happen. With his most likely suitor (Mets) possibly being out now, wonder who will step up.
  24. Jays24
    Rather have Semien at his deal with his upside, and the possibility of getting a pick for him next year if he leaves is a sweet bonus.
  25. Jays24
    Losing like 20% of your net worth whether it's temporary or not is a massive hit to anyone. You don't go around throwing your money in other places for fun at a time like this.
