  1. We're not spending a dime on the bullpen, for the second year in a row. That's almost funny.
  2. Well, we will have a manager, presumably. This discussion is kind of moot until we know if Betts and Price are gone anyway. That'll seal the deal.
  3. I'm not really down. But let's face it, if they trade Betts and Price, they're not all in for this year. It will confirm that 2020 is all about the tax re-set.
  4. I'm feeling pretty pessimistic about the 2020 team's chances myself. Especially if they trade Betts and Price, which seems fairly likely.
  5. I think the issue is that the starting pitching outlook seems much worse. The only pitcher who took a step in the right direction was E-Rod. Pessimism abounds about the health of Sale, Price and Eovaldi. (Price may be gone of course.) Johnson and Velazquez turned into rotten pumpkins etc.
  6. I don't think so. I suspect people are generally just looking at the total dollars. Rendon's total dollars were $245 mill.
  7. But in this case, there is no result of the investigation that would make it less desirable to trade Betts.
  8. Personally I think they are readily apparent and already discussed in infinite detail.
  9. What a nonsensical question.
  10. But you've been of the opinion that if they trade him it's unlikely he'll be back, right?
  11. Sadly, I think I'm out now.
  12. Well, anyone who says that is being dumb.
  13. I don't think % wise too many people think it's only 5-6 years.
  14. How long ARE they, you mean. They've only just begun...
  15. We sure as hell don't need that.
  16. Or we could be absolutely screwed by about Year 5 or 6 of the contract, with a monster albatross hanging around our necks. Lots of possibilities.
  17. Yeah, if you take the cold, rational longview, if Mookie wants 400 million, we're better off if he gets it elsewhere - hopefully in the National League though.
  18. So what teams does that leave in?
  19. This is especially true in baseball.
  20. He had a -0.1 fWAR last year. I wouldn't worry too much about it.
  21. You're 19 minutes late.
  22. Yeah, and while you're at it, imagine how much money you could make if you knew the score of the Super Bowl in advance.
  23. I honestly thought the crazy upward spiral would end somewhere. But maybe not.
  24. Absolutely true. But Mookie will be one of the two human beings on the planet getting 400 million to play baseball.
