    I don't think they need to dump Yoshida as he still brings some value to the table and will have a 130 wRC+ this year. I think we need to give them some mediocre players to take on a guy who just had a 3 WAR season, but is overpaid. That's how most MLB deals work.
  2. mvp 78
    I'd do the Mullins and Sogard trade. Cespedes and Fitts for one year of Helsley? Pass since I don't think this is a WS contender year.
  3. mvp 78
    They are dumping Arenado because they don't want to pay him. Why would they want anything to do with Masa's contract?
  4. mvp 78
    If they ate the whole contract, I still wouldn't give up at top 10 guy. I'd consider Sandlin or Romero.
  5. mvp 78
    They calculate it based on the actual loft of the ball. If it wouldn't clear the monster, it's not counted as a HR. Maybe he'd hit more 2b's? Maybe he'd continue to slug under 400 because he's middle aged and his bat is slowing down?
  6. mvp 78
    Be realistic, moon.
  7. mvp 78
    It includes every HR his hit at every park everywhere.
  8. mvp 78
    Per Statcast: 272 career HR, 214 projected at Fenway. Why would he be reinvigorated?
  9. mvp 78
    People have suggested a Mike Lowell bounceback comparison for Arenado, but Arenado is older than when Lowell first came to Boston and Lowell's offensive and defensive production died on the vine when he was 35 ('26 for Arenado). Are people just wishcasting for one good season out of Arenado? Arenado already had that bounceback season in '22. Why would he have another one 3 years later?
  10. mvp 78
    He slugged under 400 last year and may only be a 2 win player going forward solely because of his glove. It's a move, but one I'm not super thrilled about. I'd rather they were able to sign Bregman for 3 years, but this is definitely the cheap way to go. Any trade should not include top 20 prospects or anyone that has real value since his contract is underwater at this point.
  11. mvp 78
    Mayer has some adjustments to still work on and has 0 AAA PA's. I don't see a reason for him to be rushed at the moment. He'll get his opportunity soon enough.
  12. mvp 78
    Which recent prospect was overhyped? Duran who just had a monster year? Casas who a lot of people on here don't want to trade and want to extend? Abreu was completely under the radar. Nobody cared about Crawford. Houck wasn't a big deal until he showed up in 2020. The only guy I can think of is Bello, but many people on here still believe he's a future #2!

    If STL wants to dump Arenado, just trade Sogard and Hayden Mullins for him while taking on the whole salary. Ben gets two "prospects" he acquired with the Sox and no longer has to deal with Arenado's salary. I wouldn't give anything more than that.
  14. mvp 78
    They can't allow Henry near a microphone since the Winter Weekend debacle. Every time he is in public he's either shamed into signing someone or does something stupid.

    As Fay Vincent said "gambling always leads to corruption."
  17. mvp 78
    The interpreter was basically the sweet, little old lady bookkeeper who had everything under control until she finally made a mistake and the company was out 1M.
  18. mvp 78
    At least you didn't mention Zack Kelly.
  19. mvp 78
    The clubhouse would rather see FA Matt Barnes walk through that door.
  20. mvp 78
    That was entirely due to his nefarious interpreter. Shohei did nothing wrong! How would he have known that he had lost millions of dollars or even had a gambling problem?!?!
  21. mvp 78
    Our 7th and 8th relievers aren't All Stars!
  22. mvp 78
    Joe Kelly is still available. That'd be fun!
  23. mvp 78
    Are you trying to tell me that relievers are volatile and can't be trusted year to year?
  24. mvp 78
    He was "sharing a betting account" with a friend who was betting on baseball. He needs to be fired for being a dumbass. He should have just had his own gambling account and not been shady. Guilty by association is guilty when we are talking about betting on baseball. Bye bye!
  25. mvp 78
    He could also be giving notes from other umps about other games to his "buddy." Lifetime ban as presented by FanDuel!
