    I'd rather him in the pen, but his career numbers haven't ticked up like you'd expect when you put him out there.
  2. mvp 78
    Holy hell that's good...

    2 years of a #2 for Mayer. No. Lopez isn't a guy that's going to lead a staff. If you're trading for an ACE, you gotta bring back at least a guy similar to Manoah, Cease, Gallen... Lopez is much further down that list.

    The teams on the bottom have the money to spend but THEY CHOOSE NOT TO. The Mets are just thumbing their nose at the other owners who are draining their fans dry without putting it back into the team. Don't root for their checkbooks!
  5. mvp 78
    How many other teams have been able to do that?
  6. mvp 78
    I heard there were no guys left to sign.
  7. mvp 78
    fWAR
  8. mvp 78
    They didn't and they weren't going to. If the goal is to build for the future, one meagre run at the playoffs wasn't worth the risk.

    I've also started to see the narrative switch to be: rival gm's all said they would only pay Yoshida 50% of what he got, but the initial story didn't quote gm's, just international scouts which aren't hired to manage payroll. I think that difference is important.
  10. mvp 78
    If that were really the case to you, why aren't you also complaining about the Chris Martin contract? The Sox still have money left to spend. They just aren't spending it. The issue isn't Yoshida, it's Sox ownership not spending what it can.
  11. mvp 78
    There are important things to care about, Yoshida's contract and what he said at the press conference is very low on the list. To me, he's part of the solution, not the problem.
  12. mvp 78
    Zero chance. If the owners try that, MLB would lose a season of baseball 5 years from now.
  13. mvp 78
    That makes no sense.

    They screwed the pooch early on and it was extremely hard to unscrew.

    McGuire may not provide an onfield upgrade, but he's much cheaper than Vaz's 10M AAV right now and the cost savings was pushed to the pen where it was much needed. I don't think the dropoff will be all that noticeable. Career wRC+ McGuire: 85 Vaz: 84 McGuire's behind the plate skills (framing, pop time) are better than Vaz too.

    1. Stop relitigating? No, it's fine to relitigate it until this year's team is actually constructed. There really isn't enough other meat on the bone to discuss right now. 2. Those who said. Yes, I was right AS USUAL. 3. Fault the team for not doing it. I guess? I see why they thought they should go for it, but at the time I thought that ship was sinking fast. FO has more information on their end, but it was an odd decision to stay over the cap to hurt your comp selections.

    The nits that we will find to pick around here.
  18. mvp 78
    You always make the trade when you can bring a true ace in.
  19. mvp 78
    Those are the moves we're waiting on... Tick Tock...
  20. mvp 78
    It's good for baseball that he's doing it.
  21. mvp 78
    His defense was perfect at 2b. I see no reason to move him. It doesn't make sense to me at all.
  22. mvp 78
    Yes, because they stupidly went over the lux tax.
  23. mvp 78
    ??? 2021: 405 PA in AAA 2022: 335 PA in AAA
  24. mvp 78
    He has a terrible zone contact %. The swing and miss he has is just horrible. When he makes contact, it's very hard, but he just doesn't have the bat to ball skill that was advertised. It's funny because people thought his bat would carry him and he'd have to move to 2b, but his defense has improved, but his bat has held him back. He was released by his winter league team because he was playing so bad.
  25. mvp 78
    And yes, any return for Devers will be underwhelming, but objectively better than a comp pick. Humph...
