They are rumor Seattle want Nootbaar and Donovan, and Yankees also interested in Donovan. To take advantage of the Cards, is like when teams take advantage of the Twins last year. opportunities get good players at discount price.
-
It's why if you get Donovan and Bellinger, top 5 will be, Springer, Donovan, Vlad, Bellinger, Santander
-
Less than 90 wins, coz we didn't replaced Bo bat, and Santander, Barger are no safe bet, so other than Vlad and Springer, lineup is full of guys who shouldn't be top 5 in batting order.
-
Schneider he's a .220 AVG, have some power but with poor defensive skills
-
He's far better than IKF, Schneider, or what we have in Buffalo at 2B or SS.
-
Yep, instead offering 8-10 years contract at fair annual salary , need to offer 2-3 years contract at 40m annualy. So 3/120 for Bellinger
-
Donovan can easily hit for .275+AVG, 15+HR with good defensive skills and can play 3B,2B,LF, and cost 5.8 m annualy. This mean u can even sign Bellinger if really want, and trade guys like Straw, Schneider, Lukes
-
Dodgers GM said after he sign DIaz, that if you want to close a deal, you sometime need overpaid than remaining rational, otherwise u will finish second or third. Jays seem to finish too much often third, behind Dodgers and Mets.
-
Atkins should take advantage of the Cards fire sales, and trade for Brendan Donovan. Doing this, we can use Clement at 3B, Barger RF, so we will have good defense excepted at LF when Santander will be in starting lineup.
-
DH
-
He's a .270 AVG, 25HR, 25SB and above average defender. Guys like Bellinger, Robert Jr can do that too. You trade for Donovan and daily use Barger RF, you get better offensive than Tucker. Otherwise Barger will split time with Okamoto at 3B
-
Yes, but Mets and Jays, they need a OF more than a 2B. So it's why I think Bellinger will get slightly more than Bo.
-
Tucker he's overrated
-
The second that what Jays and Mets offered to Tucker was leaked and no what Dodgers offered leaked, was obvious that Dodgers was the team Tucker wanted from the beginning. Strangely was the same about Diaz, but no with other top free agents. So far we don't know what teams offered to Bichette, Bellinger , Schwarber, Bregman. All we read, was names of teams interested to sign these guys.
-
5/160 Because all other top guys like Schwarber, Alonso, Bregman get 5 years contracts. Bellinger will probably get 5/175 or 6/210 from Jays or Mets
-
Jays and Mets should learn from their mistakes. The second their offers are leaked, they should ASAP remove them, coz they are used by agents to make Dodgers give more cash.
-
The same about Bichette, Tucker or Bellinger. They are all injury prone. I think Popkin can fix Robert Jr, and he can bounce back with the Jays.
-
If nothing changes, teams will have difficulties sell tickets, and they won't overpaid like Dodgers do. Also, those who take advantage of the system are the top free agents, other players won't be overpaid.
-
Jays can sign Bellinger or make a trade with Cards for Donavan and with the White Sox for Robert Jr . The 2 will cost less than Tucker, and with similar stats each. Donovan will cost someone like Nimmala, Schneider and Stanifer. Robert Jr, Loperfido and low end prospects.
-
Yes, but this times players won't win.
-
Only Dodgers will vote against it.
-
This year, Diaz and Tucker cost them 166 millions, because they have penalties for signing free agents.
-
They need Skubal, Skenes, Judge
-
What will happen if in next CBA salary cap will be 300m max? Do the Dodgers and their 500m payroll need to be cut to 300m ?
-
This explains why the Yankees and other big spanding teams didn't wanted to overpaid for free agents. They let Dodgers play alone buying WS championships. For sure next CBA a real salary cap will be voted, and probably defferal money no allowed.
