I guess O'Brien is the classic case of a man made for radio and not TV.
-
Normally it wouldn't be, but it's only 2 months.
-
Why? Why? Why?
-
Disagree. 2021 was Dalbec's first full season. He had an OPS of .792, 25 HR and 78 RBI in 133 games. And he's still making minimum wage. I don't really see ripping Bloom because he thought that was good value.
-
I don't know if the Yankees think that way anymore. The Astros, Rays and Jays might be bigger concerns.
-
I never count out the Yankees, but they've got Judge to deal with.
-
Most overrated member of the 500 HR club?

Killebrew was a great one. -
Correa is also almost certain to opt out and hit the market again.
-
I think we're all in the same neighborhood on Bogey. I think 7/175 or 7/185 should be the ceiling.
-
I'm about 95% in agreement.
-
McGuire is still just getting a handle on things, you know that...
-
No kidding. That was rather insane. Mind you Seager is a really good player and has bounced back from a bad start.
-
It's a cool 8.18 in 4 games. Excuses/explanations: small sample size, adjustment period etc. etc.
-
I prefer to think the GM's or HOBO's do not pay extra chunks of money just for the fun of it. But there are probably some cases where they are so anxious to land the player that they throw in some more money to get it done.
-
Riley was several years away from free agency, but his deal could be used as a sort of baseline for Devers. If JH is willing to pay Devers what he wants, maybe $325 million or whatever, that will make it pretty damn hard to keep Bogey too. If they don't make a very serious effort it's going to yet another PR disaster. I think they've had enough of them lately.
-
Some guys do. They're in the minority, but they do exist.
-
If it's a big enough contract, $1 million will probably be outweighed by those other considerations. If reports are accurate, Theo closed the deal with Lester by bumping their offer a whopping $20 million higher than the Red Sox best offer. Again if reports are accurate, the Yankees closed the deal with Cole by adding a ninth year at $36 million. Two other teams were willing to go to 8 years at $36 million. Sometimes you really have to beat the crap out of the next best offer to make the player feel truly comfortable they're making the right decision!
-
And of course we have this cute little theory floating around that what Devers does will depend on what happens with Bogey, because they're so tight. The cynical among us, of course, will dismiss that with some humorous remark about the money being the decisive factor.
-
Why is it necessarily hypocrisy? Why isn't it just the mood swings of a season where the Sox went from leading the Wild Card to the front office throwing in the towel on the season in about a month?
-
That's one way to look at it. The AL East has kicked us all year, no question about that. The injuries were pretty brutal too. Especially Sale, Eovaldi (still not 100%), Wacha, Story, and Kike. And obviously those guys being injured exposed our lack of depth and other flaws.
-
It doesn't take long for things to go sour in this game, though.
-
It certainly looks that way now. But I think the article by Speier laid it out pretty well. Bloom decided he was only going to trade JD or Eovaldi if they were offered a big return, and it didn't happen.
-
We sucked before he was traded and we suck after he was traded.
-
As I've said, STORK never lets facts get in the way.
-
So you agree that Valdez is too old for his level?
