You said 'a GM like Dombrowski cannot win without spending'. That may be so. But it's also been true of Theo, Ben and Cashman. Does that fact make them bad at what they do? That's my question to you.
-
Why is the $208 million figure important?
-
The difference, I believe, is that Sandoval had language explicitly written into his contract acknowledging that he was never in shape and never would be in shape.
-
Getting people to change their beliefs on this particular issue has probably become one of the easier tasks. Just say 'back to back Cy Young award winner Jacob DeGrom' until they shut up. -
Since I'm still somewhat in 'defend poor Dave' mode... Have Theo and Ben won anything with small payrolls?
-
That's just one part of the issue though. The other is that teams like the Red Sox can spend $200 million plus and still make money and have the franchise value grow. So shouldn't they spend that money? The alternative is to pocket it. We know that they're not going to reduce prices.
-
Yeah, until we set them straight.
-
There may not even be a 2022 season if that's what owners are pushing for.
-
Those must be really casual fans, unaware of the existence of Jacob DeGrom...
-
I think a pretty high percentage of fans now realize that W-L record doesn't mean all that much.
-
I'm on record that the value of the re-set is overblown anyway. Especially with the current CBA expiring after 2021.
-
Archer for Glasnow and Meadows was pretty sweet.
-
If we don't trade Mookie this offseason and the team stinks, we trade him at the deadline, obviously.
-
ERod was good this year, period. His W-L is inflated by the run support, but 203.1 IP with a deserved sub 4 ERA in the year of the Manfred Missile is commendable in any case.
-
The Yankees, BTW, have filed a grievance against Ellsbury to recoup some money because he used an outside facility while rehabbing.
-
I did. Wouldn't want to be them though. For some reason they can never get past the Wild Card game or Division Series.
-
Then you're the Rays.
-
I didn't even realize they tendered JBJ. Oddly enough no one else here mentioned it, I don't think.
-
Sox fans are so nutty that guys are on the hot seat before they even get hired.
-
We have no idea what's going on behind the scenes though.
-
True. Some of the key numbers are verifiable though, right? Payroll obviously is. Gate revenue must be. Is TV revenue verifiable?
-
Chaim has a gargantuan, if not impossible task fielding a competitive team in 2020 and staying under 208 million.
-
I'm giving harmony a pass on this one. The Yankees made a bad signing. Big deal. We've made plenty of them. Big deal. It really doesn't matter that much. I'm a bottom line guy.
-
Taxing profits might be one way to do it.
-
The big question for Chaim is how he replaces Porcello's innings, especially with the uncertain health of our big guns. We could be looking at a lot of bullpen games this year, that's for sure.
