    It means if they don't make at least one big signing they're going to look like lying sacks of s***.
  2. Bellhorn04
    We can blame all we want, but if Boras said there's no extension without an opt out, there wasn't much DD could do.
  3. Bellhorn04
    Injuries are always hugely possible with any of these contracts. Now we're talking about Trout being damaged goods.
  4. Bellhorn04
    I think we should be one of the Fullest Throttlest, like Top 4.
  5. Bellhorn04
    Of course the problem is if you wait out the year the price can go up astronomically. Just ask Bogaerts.
  6. Bellhorn04
    Yes, but we're a Full Throttle team.
  7. Bellhorn04
    What if the bidding gets crazy on all of Yama, Snell, Nola, Monty and Gray?
  8. Bellhorn04
    I think moon's old theory that TJ surgery was baked right into Sale's extension is a pretty reasonable one. It was all the other injuries that really killed this one. And yet I still hope for 2 more seasons of Sale. (Vesting option would bring him back for 2025.)
  9. Bellhorn04
    A cage match between the Yanks and Mets over Yama could be interesting to behold.
  10. Bellhorn04
    Boras might have said, opt out after 3 years is mandatory. There's not much point rehashing the Sale extension any more. At the time I thought the numbers were quite reasonable, but like everyone else I was nervous as hell about his health. It turned out to be even more of a nightmare than even the most pessimistic foresaw, I think.
  11. Bellhorn04
    You're right, Yama will be a massively risky signing, especially with the teams that are expected to be in the auction. It could really get stupid.
  12. Bellhorn04
    I get the point you're trying to make. But DD didn't negotiate with Bogey and Sale in tandem. He was dealing with two different agents, and as you have often said, players hire agents for a reason.
  13. Bellhorn04
    I doubt it will be the Mets, just because Bauer and NY are a potentially bad combination. SF would definitely be possible.
  14. Bellhorn04
    Let's put you on the spot - how big?
  15. Bellhorn04
    Why do you say "another year of control" - I thought it was a regular 3 year extension after his final arb year.
  16. Bellhorn04
    That's just wrong about JD's 2021 season (and postseason). Only low baseball IQ bozos would have been complaining about him that year.
  17. Bellhorn04
    San Diego might not be spending big this offseason. The Red Sox signing Wacha for a reasonable deal wouldn't be the worst news. Yamamoto and Wacha would be better news, of course.
  18. Bellhorn04
    Don't be surprised if guys like Monty and Gray get 20% more than projected too.
  19. Bellhorn04
    I get the theory, but the Bogaerts opt-out situation kind of soured me on them. In the final year before the opt-out they're "sort of" an impending free agent, but you may not know for sure one way or the other. The opt-out might also affect what you can get back in a trade. The clear-cut cases are not a big issue but the borderline cases can cause a lot of uncertainty.
  20. Bellhorn04
    Yes, I know. I'm saying they projected 225 and we're projecting 290.
  21. Bellhorn04
    Shorter schedule I think. Not sure about the once a week thing.
  22. Bellhorn04
    So we're bumping the projection of $225 to $290 LOL Don't forget the 15% posting fee which gets paid by the team that signs him, and by them alone. That would be $43.5 mill on $290 mill.
  23. Bellhorn04
    The same as it did in 2023.
  24. Bellhorn04
    With the posting fee, that would make his cost about the same as Cole's current record-setter. And the opt-out would add to the risk.
  25. Bellhorn04
    Bloom might still be employed if he went that way. Would have had a few more bucks for a starting pitcher, too.
