    You also have to consider the cost to Henry of falling attendance and TV ratings.
  2. Bellhorn04
    That's true. But they made the decision with eyes wide open, so it must have fit into the plans. Teams like the Dodgers and the Mets are basically saying screw the tax and penalties. Maybe JH is looking in that direction?
  3. Bellhorn04
    Correct. $20 million is a lot for a DH. Signing him, along with the other moves, would have put us another $20 mill over the tax threshold, minus what someone would have paid for JD.
  4. Bellhorn04
    I'd rather spend the $55 mill on Devers/Xander. I certainly agree that does nothing to improve us. Improvements have to come from money freed up by Price, JDM, Eovaldi, JBJ and Vazquez.

  6. Bellhorn04
    Agreed.
  7. Bellhorn04
    It's been reported by multiple sources that Paxton's 2022 AAV is actually only $5.6 million.
  8. Bellhorn04
    There never really was any such rule about 30 year old pitchers. I think Henry made one comment about it, and we've been running with it for years. It's no wonder he doesn't like to say much.
  9. Bellhorn04
    Teams do tend to look unmotivated when they're losing. You can blame it on Cora if you want. I think he did what he could, considering his starting rotation was decimated by injuries and his bullpen was mostly a pigpen.
  10. Bellhorn04
    Rodon and Syndergaard actually have similar profiles. Both right around 30 years old, both with about 850 MLB innings under their belts, both with around 16.5 bWAR. We have to sign somebody like these one of these two. notin's guy Snell also has a very similar profile to these two.
  11. Bellhorn04
    Four possible ways to acquire a pitcher: 1) Draft and develop. 2) Trade. 3) Free agent signing for real money. 4) Dumpster dive.
  12. Bellhorn04
    I still think Syndergaard is worth considering. His numbers this year are nothing spectacular, but that should keep the cost from being exorbitant.
  13. Bellhorn04
    How many free agent pitchers aren't Buyer Beware?
  14. Bellhorn04
    What about a trade for Rodon? I don't know, it's only one year with an AAV of $22 mill. You'd have to sign him to an extension to make it worth it.
  15. Bellhorn04
    Pretty much. And if you're going to be paying all that money to Tatis, Soto and Machado, you better have some pitching too.
  16. Bellhorn04
    The Jays are our daddy.
  17. Bellhorn04
    Inauspicious.
  18. Bellhorn04
    What makes you think San Diego wants to trade him? They're in their window and have been spending freely.
  19. Bellhorn04
    He'd fit right in here LOL
  20. Bellhorn04
    I was just replying to the statement that a starter is only as good as his last start.
  21. Bellhorn04
    That's just another way of saying the Recency Effect is powerful.
  22. Bellhorn04
    It's worth a lot. He's a much cheaper version of Porcello.
  23. Bellhorn04
    And what makes you say that? He's got the numbers of a 3/4 starter. They haven't changed all that much.
  24. Bellhorn04
    My guesses: -Long term appreciation of the asset is the primary objective. -Yearly net income matters, but the main thing is avoiding repeated losses. -Henry is disappointed about 2022 but wasn't unprepared for it.
  25. Bellhorn04
    We're so cynical about these things. And I'm including myself in that.
