  1. That's right, and it illustrates the insane risk involved in any long term contract for a player. Nonetheless I'm sure you're not upset about the Cole signing right now.
  2. Personally I feel like puking sometimes when I hear people talking about trading Devers or JD or Eovaldi. Some folks just have this 'out with the old, in with the new' mentality.
  3. I think Henry would let Bloom spend up to the tax threshold, but figures Bloom will spread that money around and not burn it on risky long-term deals. Just guessing of course.
  4. Henry and Werner have assured the fans there would no full-on rebuild.
  5. Fair enough. I like JD and Eovaldi so I'm biased toward keeping them. I forgot Vaz. He's under control through 2022 fairly cheap, he's a must-keep.
  6. I wouldn't trade JD or Eovaldi either. I'd want to keep those two plus Bogie, Devers and E-Rod. A tiny core to build around for 2021 and 2022. E-Rod is actually a free agent after 2021, so that's a bit of an issue.
  7. Hopefully the look will include Alex Cora.
  8. Plus the fact that our pitching staff is almost entirely a collection of what dgalehouse calls 'ham and eggers'. It's a team with no chance, on top of all the other difficulties you quite rightly pointed out.
  9. The Yankees are a virtual cinch to be in the 2020 World Series -- if there is one.
  10. I do find it credible that Mookie didn't want to stay in Boston long-term.
  11. Price opted out of the season because of COVID-19 concerns, so he wouldn't have been much use.
  12. Yes, the Bataan Death March.
  13. Christian Vazquez contract details: 2020 4.517 million AAV 2021 4.517 million AAV 2022 team option 7 million 250 K buyout
  14. Not much to disagree with.
  15. Arguably a true reverse lock would have been DeGrom against one of our other "starters" that you'll be blessed to see over the next 4 games.
  16. I understand that Graterol is controlled through 2025. But of course this year matters, they all matter. And as you said, Downs could be traded for a reliever between now and 2021. Pretty simple.
  17. Ouch. Mind you, the end results with Crawful (Dodgers trade) and Price (2018 title) took some of the sting away.
  18. Only 55 more cans, tops.
  19. But as you found, Downs has a higher trade value than Graterol, so in theory he's a more valuable asset. And it's not like having Graterol this year matters or not.
  20. Jeez moon, we were just talking about JBJ's spot in the lineup. Everything doesn't have to be about the cliff. Congrats though.
  21. Nah, that couldn't possibly happen.
  22. But are you sure he's in one of the epic hot streaks?
  23. Plus no prospects to trade.
  24. #1 is probably a yes. But if #1 is a yes, how is Roenicke tanking?
  25. Because the quicker the whole season gets cancelled the better?
