5 and 2 is clearly the new QS.

SPLINTER is usually very reliable. But the clock is indeed ticking. -
Also to be noted is that Xander has a swing made for Fenway. Career: Home .870 Road .754
-
I'd offer Eovaldi 3 @ $20, but he would laugh at it. Gausman got 5 @ $22.
-
Also a good chance that if he gets 8 @ $30, the second half is an albatross.
-
There's been talk, but it's nothing promising. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/04/eovaldi-wont-discuss-extension-during-season.html
-
That's how it's presently defined. They may have to revise it to 5 innings and 2 runs.
-
Sure, but the thing is, he got 7 years compared to Story's 6, and Story is 2 years younger.
-
The deals those guys got make Story's deal look pretty darn good. It's almost like Bloom is being smart or something.
-
I have no problem at all with your opinions. I'm just pointing out that Henry has not yet given out a contract higher than Price's 217 mill.
-
It's possible that Story + Wacha yield as much value as Mookie this year. We shall see! Then there's the 5 additional years at 30.5 AAV part.
-
No, I don't think we do know that. As I think you've noted, the biggest contracts he's ever given out pale beside some of the ones now being handed out by other owners.
-
Seager's contract is ridiculous. They obviously had to pay a major premium to get him to play for a lousy team.
-
Me too. But Mookie's AAV is 7 million higher and his contract runs 5 years longer.
-
.660 is a little below break even, I'd say. Maybe .680.
-
Of course. Crazy is fun, until the contract goes sour, which many of our big-dollar ones have done rather quickly. Then nobody seems to see the fun in it.
-
I think you're a little too focused on AAV. Have we not learned that having dead money on the books for a period of years is not a lot of fun?
-
It's a good question. 2018 OPS .717 fWAR 2.8 2019 OPS .738 fWAR 1.4 Obviously his defensive numbers were much better in 2018. His defensive numbers were much better in 2021 than they were in 2019 BTW. A 2022 OPS of .700 should result in an fWAR of 1 to 1.5 depending on the D.

-
Boonie will save one of his major screwups for when it really matters.
-
Of course. There's also the chance that if he can apply a better approach with the bat he could at least hit that .700 OPS mark.
-
The fact is there are multiple crazy owners. I think that's what John Henry doesn't want to be, one of the crazy guys.
-
Not if you're only getting the bat. You'll have to find a comp who's a below-average fielder.
-
I fail to see how point #2 trumps point #1. Their projected payroll for CBT purposes this year is $242 million. They're still spending. We can argue about how they spend it, but that's a different argument.
-
The only real counterargument is that Soto is not a free agent until 2025, and until then the big payday is at risk. Fair point about not wanting to commit to the Nats, though.
