I'm not a fan of having every team in the best of 3 round. They should have retained the 'best record earns you a first round bye' principle.
-
Now name one who's guaranteed to do so.
-
I think I know what your point is, I just don't think it's nearly as big as you're making it out to be.
-
But there's no guarantee we'll sign one who does better than Eovaldi the next two years.
-
Not much of one. I can see you and I will be going back and forth on this one a while.
-
It's a combination of bias and optimism. We like to think we're trading the right ones and keeping the right ones. I realize this is mostly about DD, of course. So far we haven't been severely burned by anyone he's traded. A few mild and moderate burns, yes.
-
As William Shatner says at the start of every episode of The Unxplained: "Well, that's what we're going to try to find out."
-
Of course, it's extraordinarily unlikely you're going to get two Devers back.
-
We're not turning into the Rays, any more than the Dodgers did when they hired Friedman.
-
Kluber will probably do one of those "showcase" things.
-
"Presumably", yes.
-
But again, with nearly twice as much money at risk. That matters too.
-
You can understand Henry being a little wary of big contracts after the ones he's signed over the last decade and how they've panned out.
-
"As recently as mid-July", huh? You do realize that was before the season started?
-
All I can really say is I'm confident that as long as Henry & Werner own the team, we will have one of the highest payrolls and we will not have mediocrity as a goal.
-
You are so helpful.
-
I disagree. I think it was the length and consequent risk of the contract that did it.
-
Oh yeah, sure, we've all been talking about our playoff run this year.
-
Such is life for Mariners fans.
-
You actually raised one of the issues with signing only one-year deals. You might get traded every year!
-
Who is saying a one-year contract for Bauer?
-
So the celebrated tax re-set was a fake-out?
-
OTOH if other teams aren't spending maybe a guy like Bauer won't be priced as prohibitively.
-
His .761 OPS in the minors is not much to get excited about. I don't know much about his fielding. But it looks like DD was right about him being a 4th outfielder.
-
That's certainly a valid one. How many others are there, though.
