Kluber had a 12.79 ERA against the Yankees. He must have also pitched too many innings. Nice work Tito!
-
You won't find many good comps to this. Maybe when A-Rod was up for grabs after 2003 with 7 years left on his megadeal? A-Rod was actually an even bigger commodity than Stanton at the time. We almost traded Manny and Lester for him! Of course we tried to lower the amount of money due to him - as you may recall.
-
Stanton's contract is not a guaranteed albatross by current standards, but it's obviously out of reach for all but a handful of teams.
-
He makes it sound like one phone call to Borass would get it done.
-
Taiwanese kid?
-
moon's math skills are definitely in question these days.
-
The simplest answer is they preferred Young and whoever else they called up, and Young is now gone. Not sure what other information you think any of us can provide.
-
It's the offseason man, it's supposed to be a time of optimism. Besides, don't you think our crack medical team knows what it's doing?
-
The Hamilton contract - another big ouch.
-
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Boras has been out of the limelight for a while - he wants to remind everyone he's still the king of the ******* agents.
-
It's one of those things you'll never have a satisfactory answer for. They had their reasons, bad or good. I'm just happy he's going to get a shot in 2018.
-
Beats me. I read something about them wanting to keep Chris Young around because he was such a great clubhouse presence. Anyway it'd be pretty cool if Brentz gets a good shot in 2018.
-
@PeteAbe 27 minutes ago Dombrowski mentioned Bryce Brentz as a prominent candidate for 4th OF. Castillo's contract (which would trigger a cap hit) appears to exclude him.
-
FWIW Dombrowski sounds like he's not very interested in trading away players like JBJ, or prospects either...sounds like any major acquisitions will come by way of free agency...FWIW
-
Man, what has the world come to when we actually trust the Yankees to be fully truthful about their intentions?
-
Except there's a 4.5 year age difference between Pujols at the start of his 10 year deal, and Stanton at the start of 2018. Pujols turned 32 before he played his first game for the Angels. Now that was ridiculous!
-
Will there ever be an end to all the vitriolic comments aimed back and forth by new school/old school people? It's crazy. We need to accept and respect that we all have different ways of looking at things. And in the end it doesn't matter...we're all just fans.
-
It's not really a mystery - an elite defender with 2 .800 OPS seasons on his resume, and 3 years of control left.
-
Paul Molitor might turn out to be a good one.
-
Sounds right.
-
Yes, I've been thinking about the comps with Manny too.
-
I wonder who is the best player of all time to manage a team to a World Series title?
-
10 years is correct. Total owing 295 million. Originally 13 years, 325 million. AAV for tax purposes 25 million. Opt-out after 2020 (3 years away).
-
How many out of 115?
-
I try not to be over-influenced by the home runs. Too many balls were flying out of parks this year. But Stanton seems like a legit .900-950 OPS guy.
