    At that point in late 2019, how did we know that was a career year? Maybe he had a 12 fWAR season in him?
  2. mvp 78
    Uh, 9 1st place finishes and the last WS was 1991. The team has also did a huge selloff last year and fans are not happy.
  3. mvp 78
    Some owners just want to take more and more distributions out. They don't really care about the product on the field as long as they aren't the 2024 ChiSox.
  4. mvp 78
    I just want the team to be a playoff caliber team and right now it doesn't feel that way regardless of what the luxury tax says.
  5. mvp 78
    Charlie Hayes was a decent 3b. Von Hayes barely appeared there.
  6. mvp 78
    2018: 10.2 fWAR?
  7. mvp 78
    They aren't going to sign anyone to play DH, especially not for 20AAV. Marte is supposedly off the table. There is no way they should do Duran, Witherspoon AND Harrison for one year of Peralta if they've already traded Tolle. Peralta also has a very high bb rate and was lucky having a 2.70 ERA but a 3.85 xFIP. His pitch mix doesn't scream Breslow to me either. This is the one deal that really doesn't make sense out of the 3.

    And if the Sox are paying him 8M this season, another 4 fWAR year is 24M surplus. Duran's value seems fair. Paredes does seem a little low. I don't think we always get to know the backend of how it's calculated over there.
  9. mvp 78
    STL still has 62M in cash to send his way.
  10. mvp 78
    COL is paying 5M of that. The amount of $ that STL has deferred on this deal is hilarious.
  11. mvp 78
    I agree on fWAR vs bWAR. Also agree on FanGraph's website functionality or lack thereof. That site should be amazing, but it leaves something to be desired a lot of times.
  12. mvp 78
    Duran has a 3rd year of control that Paredes doesn't have. Duran last 3 years: 13.2 fWAR Paredes last 3 years: 10.1 fWAR
  13. mvp 78
    Hayes is outstanding at 3b, but I don't know if you put up with his bat at the bottom of the lineup. For a long stretch of the year, you'd have two auto outs with Rafaela and Ke'Bryan. It would be nice to bring him over so that I could see the myriad of ways that his name would be butchered on here: K'Bryan, Ke'Brian, KeBrain, Kebryan, Hays.
  14. mvp 78
    And which WAR calc are you leaning on when choosing to go with a player? David Hamilton '25: 0.1 fWAR, 1.0 bWAR

    They had a very good offseason last year. The in-season moves were bad. We were hopeful that this offseason would repeat last year. For now, it feels incomplete.
  17. mvp 78
    And there's a bunch of Pohlads living the MLB owner dream. They multiply like sea monkeys.
  18. mvp 78
    They thought that since they never budged from the "no trade" clause issue and didn't believe Breggie's agent when told the Cubs made a higher offer than the Sox.
  19. mvp 78
    There have been quite a few articles over the past year or so about how horrible the PITT ownership is. The franchise's ineptitude has nothing to do with the fanbase. When they are good, the fans show up. From 93-26, they were only in the playoffs in the 3 years from 13-15 (29 out of 33 years below .500 too).
  20. mvp 78
    No, they have no clue what they are doing. They can't get trademarked in Sacto or Vegas. They were hoping to get more gov't funding than they actually got. They spent years in Oakland not spending on their team. Back in the 80's and early 90's, they were able to fill up that stadium and had stars. They really screwed up a storied franchise.
  21. mvp 78
    Because you make a ton of money and do nothing.
  22. mvp 78
    We hadn't heard Suarez's name before now. This is beyond the third fork IMO.
  23. mvp 78
    Unfortunately, he does need to be able to communicate with other teams and internally.
  24. mvp 78
    Pirates Reds A's Marlins
  25. mvp 78
    Elly should be better this year, but I'd rather be a Sox fan.
