I'm not going to bet any children on it, but my prediction is this: Ohtani will NOT get a GUARANTEED $500 million. He might get a contract that has the POTENTIAL to reach $500 million IF he successfully triggers vesting option years, or if he doesn't trigger injury clauses.
-
Right, and deGrom and Rodon are now squarely in the "cautionary tale" file.
-
The guy ended the season with a possible second Tommy John surgery in his future, AND an oblique injury. I don't care how good you are, these are concerning injuries. We're watching Mike Trout's body fall apart before our eyes, after all.
-
I think you're underestimating his injury issues. But we'll see.
-
Judge is a fair comp. He got 360 mill. That's still a long way from 500.
-
I don't really care if you wouldn't take the average. It's close enough. You're being silly. notin never takes into account the things DD got stuck with, so it's only fair not to take into account what Bloom got stuck with. Apples to apples.
-
My point was pretty simple, moon. notin keeps referring to DD's 240 million 84 win team. I pointed out that Bloom put together back to back 78 win teams for a total cost of about 460 million, which averages 230 million. Am I right or am I wrong?
-
He said "they". I assume he meant it was ownership's choice not to spend more.
-
Why?
-
I also question whether Bello has done enough to show that he's high-end.
-
I would think the price on Ohtani has to have gone down. Who's crazy enough to pay $500 mill for a DH/injured pitcher?
-
FWIW, which probably isn't much, Jon Heyman thinks the Red Sox are a major threat to sign Ohtani. https://nypost.com/2023/10/05/red-sox-loom-as-real-threat-to-sign-shohei-ohtani/
-
Jeez, you really don't think in the $220's is close enough?
-
That's the first time I've seen Cora quoted on that point. Did he say how rigid the schedule is?
-
$236 mill for 2022. Still waiting for 2023 number, it'll be somewhere in the $220's.
-
Devers's hammies are made for trouble.
-
Bloom, OTOH, specialized in $230 million 78-win teams.
-
There's definitely some dysfunction at the junction.
-
JH fires everybody. They could do a show about it.
-
Oh dear, what troubling thoughts.
-
You get the feeling? No supporting data? When I get a chance I might go through Devers's 2023 game logs and see what the data is for the games he sat, the game right before it etc.
-
Don't tell me Kaleb has a brother.
-
Devers played 156 in 2019 and 156 in 2021. Looks like 6 is his standard number of rest days.
-
Sale also has a vesting option. If he finishes in the top 10 in Cy Young voting next year and is healthy at the end of the year, he'll be back in 2025.
-
Well, they got the one ring in 2002.
