Sure, the 2020 thread would be fine.
-
I'm not saying it's inappropriate. But it has a lot to do with the specific matter of losing Mookie, and it could be a long discussion.
-
Chicken and beer may have been overblown, but here's what's not overblown about 2011: -The Red Sox had one of the worst collapses in baseball history. And worse: -The Red Sox subsequently lost (arguably) both the best GM and best manager in team history.
-
The ring Price won with the Red Sox arguably offsets the one Lester won with the Cubs.
-
IMO we should have this discussion on the Mookie thread.
-
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!
