    That's gotta be worth 100M right there. I mean, what's 100M anymore anyway?
  2. mvp 78
    How many years?
  3. mvp 78
    What is the highest offer you would make before deciding to not extend him?
  4. mvp 78
    His one injury?
  5. mvp 78
    Does he hate NY or just the Yankees?

    https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2025/01/alex-bregman-rumors-no-short-term-deal.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=bluesky Scott Boras tells Bob Nightengale of USA Today that his client remains focused on a longer-term pact and suggests that there’s ample interest to make that happen. “Bregman’s a championship player, teams know it,” Boras tells Nightengale. “It’s really a matter of his decision-making and theirs, about how you can close up that gap. There’s substantial interest (in long-term) deals.” Nightengale adds that the Blue Jays, Red Sox and Tigers are among the teams still “engaged” with Bregman.

    You don't think actually playing time in MLB has more weight than playing time in Japan? Come on man!

    If they are buying out FA years, it's going to be WAY more than 11 AAV. He might get 11M next season in ARB...

    "He's not a dirt dog."

    "Hey, I know I'm under contract, but if we get to the playoffs, I'm just going to sit out." On one hand, I get it. On another, I kind of worry how this will shake out in Boston. This could go sideways and rub a lot of people the wrong way really quickly.

    Well, he wasn't a "just play ball" guy last season. He was going to sit out and not pitch the playoffs if any team traded for him and didn't extend him. I guess he does want some sort of pay increase.
  12. mvp 78
    He'll pick eventually, just like Casey Kelly had to.
  13. mvp 78
    35 starts? Guess they are going with a much smaller rotation than I thought!
  14. mvp 78
    You think Skubal will get less than 250M? If Crochet has back to back 5+ WAR seasons in the next two seasons, you don't think he'd get in that range or more?
  15. mvp 78
    Wow, really?
  16. mvp 78
    Shuggart was corresponding DFA. Some believe Dabol is more of a fringe 1B/LF/DH than a true C. Don't we already have Nathan Hickey for that?

  18. mvp 78
    Yes, but you'll also want payroll flexibility to surround them with good players rather than guys circling the toilet like Bregman.
  19. mvp 78
    He did say no pitcher that HE knows of.
  20. mvp 78
    Per fWAR, ATL's offense went 7th, 7th, 1st, 18th over the past 4 years. Not sure they will replicate 2023 again this season, but a top 10 season seems probable.
  21. mvp 78
    Good news on Soto and Rivas if they were wrapped up. Haven't looked into the others.
  22. mvp 78
    He wouldn't have the first agent who misread the market.
  23. mvp 78
    It's reasonable, but I don't want to pay years 4 and 5 and those are the years when Anthony and Campbell should be peaking.
  24. mvp 78
    You really want Bailey Horn back I guess?
  25. mvp 78
    Until the Sox start cranking out some legitimate starting prospects, I'm going to remain skeptical. Houck took 5 years to develop at the MLB level before becoming a DUDE everyone wanted to extend. Aside from him, there hasn't been much to write home about. I know there's been additional focus and Breslow cares about it more than any of us do, but I'm reticent to believe in a real pitching pipeline here due to team history. I know they are very high on Tolle and I'll be watching his starts closely this year. Don't really have much to say about the other draftees since they didn't pitch in professional games last year. 8 of the 14 pitchers they drafted were after the 10th round and that's really just throwing stuff at the wall and see what sticks. Most likely some relief arms. I'm not sure how moving away from scouting and moving towards metrics and driveline impacted their drafting effectiveness. Maybe they can pick up some more under the radar guys? Maybe it's just more of the same? IDK.
