Here's the thing. Even if DD hadn't done that reckless spending and our payroll was in much better position, it doesn't change the fact that it's a monumental and arguably irrational risk to sign anyone for 12 years and $400 million.
-
Yes, the very same. He was a great pick, in hindsight. Actually not sure why the Dodgers let him go...
-
You guys are cancelled.
-
The Twins seem to have done well by getting Maeda.
-
I don't really disagree. Mookie is a huge loss. And if he stays healthy, that deal will only hurt the Dodgers in its latter years. If I was a Dodger fan I would be thrilled about the deal. At the same time I understand the Red Sox balking at the risk.
-
The rotation still needs more attention IMO, although its close. I'd give Eovaldi one more shot as a starter before converting him to the pen.
-
Nathan was a reliever. Liriano & Bonser were prospects.
-
I don't think that slightly peculiar trade negates my point... moon thinks we could land a top starting pitcher with years of control in return for Vazquez plus Eovaldi or something equivalent. I just can't see another team doing that. Top starting pitchers with years of control are precious commodities. We know the Rays were interested in Vaz, and it was rumored they might be willing to give up a pitching prospect (or two?). That one made sense.
-
Screaming quite loudly, yes indeed.
-
When was Garland's contract expiring? That's the other key factor I should have included.
-
I challenge you to find an example of a team trading a top starter for something other than salary relief or prospects.
-
^^^ An objective Yankee fan.
-
You don't normally see an established MLB pitcher traded for a better established MLB pitcher. Usually you have to give up prospects.
-
Many don't know what they're talking about, of course. All that matters is the total value.
-
13 to be exact!
-
If JH isn't concerned about play money, why would we trade Mookie and Price?
-
The team that has most often been mentioned as being interested in Vazquez is the Rays. Who else do you think would have interest in Vazquez?
-
Huh?
-
But who would make that trade WITH us? Why would they give up a more reliable and better pitcher than Eovaldi so they could get Eovaldi? It has to make sense for both sides somehow.
-
Denny, you are like the Dean of Old School.
-
I don't understand the logic of trading Vaz and Eovaldi for a pitcher, from either side of the transaction.
-
I'm looking forward to MLBTR's free agent predictions for this offseason.
-
Randomness?
-
Bloom seems to really like him. We'll see.
-
Sign Realmuto, trade Vazquez for pitching, go from there?
