Sign Chapman and trade Baty?
-
FanGraphs projects Stroman 3/66 and Giolito 2/30. If those are the contracts, I'd lean towards Giolito. Why not Stroman, Giolito AND Montas though? We know Sale will miss time and will be gone next year anyway. Stroman Bello Sale Giolito Montas Pivetta to pen. Crawford to AAA to keep innings up until someone gets hurt.
-
They have the money and the CBT room. They just might not have the WILL to spend anymore.
-
When you take Mazz away from Felger, he is no longer in rage mode. He's halfway tolerant. I think they treat their afternoon drive show like a WWE episode everyday.
-
Sox may be in the same boat then? If that's the case, then the price for Snell and Monty could actually go down if bidders aren't that thrilled about them.
-
Please, sir, I want some more gruel?
-
I'd go: Mets 60% LA 20% Yanks 15% Sox 5% I think that's where I'd rank it. Sox take up the final spot as I believe they have some more financial flexibility and might than SF or TOR.
-
For me, price tag. Stroman is solid though. I wouldn't do more than a 3 year deal though.
-
Aside from the big 3 the unsigned guys are: Stroman - maybe Kershaw - no Clevinger - maybe Lorenzen - no Woodruff - Paxton type deal? Urias - jail time, pass Manaea - no Greinke - would be fun to watch, but no Paxton - no Giolito - sure German - no Boyd - no Hill - retire please Junis - relief profile, no Wood - no Ryu - medicals? maybe Montas - bounce back candidate with upside, sure Imanaga - midrotation guy, price tag? Bauer - PR hit? Carrasco - no YRodriguez - relief profile, no I guess it depends on which of the bargain basement guys Crag likes? Would he take Giolito and Montas thinking that he can put life back into them? Both had TOTR upside in recent years.
-
Why wouldn't he blow everyone away? He's not going to show up and say "I'll give you what the Yankees do plus 1M." He's going to put 50M more on the table so that Yamamoto doesn't walk away.
-
Command is a myth. It's just whether a pitcher is clutch or not.
-
They're ruinin' my wintuh!!!!
-
The same old story. It's as old as the stars above.
-
Why would Cohen meet directly with Yamamoto twice unless he was serious about offering a competitive contract?
-
If they are really darkhorses, why not just go sign Monty now if they REALLY like him? Maybe they don't like the tier below Yamamoto enough to sign them to monster deals? I wouldn't sign Snell to one just because he doesn't have the track record of throwing innings.
-
We'll have to see if the Sox are willing to drink from the firehose once it's turned on.
-
Low info guy put the ORIOLES on his list. That's what you're running with? CLICKBAIT?!?!? But you're mad about Tony Mazz? Ok... Also, Yankees were 5th on the list dude? Caught you slipping!
-
For a guy from DeLand, FL, maybe sportswriters should have figured he'd get along better in TX than NYC.
-
Sox only had 13.6 fWAR last season. s***, with Casas, Devers and seven 1 fWAR guys they could get there again.
-
I think a lot of us just don't believe the WILL is there anymore.

https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/11/rays-have-been-in-contact-with-jacob-degrom.html The Rays are among the teams that have reached out to the representatives for Jacob deGrom, reports Andy Martino of SNY. They join the Rangers, Yankees and incumbent Mets as clubs known to have some amount of interest, although there are surely a number of other teams in the bidding. Needless to say, Tampa Bay represents a long shot in the race for any top free agent. The Rays consistently run payrolls in the bottom five to ten, and it’s impossible to envision them winning any all-out bidding war against either New York franchise or a Texas club that has rapidly pushed its payroll upwards and seems determined to land impact pitching this winter. Ken Rosenthal of the Athletic unsurprisingly writes that Tampa Bay officials aren’t bullish on their chances of signing deGrom.

Kopech was a top 20 prospect at the time he was traded. The Sox don't even have a pitcher in the top 100...
-
Did he put on a Batting Helmet Sorting Hat or something and that's how the contract was signed?
-
Was Drohan overslot? I only remember Blaze being overslot.
-
He's only good when away from Felger. He was fine on the baseball show. He was fine as a guest on Carrabis' pod. I wouldn't want to listen to him all that often, but I think you do need to listen to more than just the Mario Pepen's of the world.
