    And even if you do get equal value, it's a sideways move, nothing gained. And you lose the draft pick. So what's the point?
  2. Bellhorn04
    It's not just the "measly draft pick". It's the draft pick plus one year of Bogaerts. We're a contending team, so we don't want to make ourselves worse just for the sake of getting more than the draft pick.
  3. Bellhorn04
    You're talking about a limited field of teams to trade with. $20 mill is a chunk of change for a rental. If it wasn't for the Dodgers we might not have been able to trade Betts.
  4. Bellhorn04
    BTW, I'm pretty sure JD just set the all-time pro sports record for most opt-outs declined in a single contract.
  5. Bellhorn04
    It would, but how much talent do you think you'd get back trading him? He's a 4-5 win player with an AAV of 20 million. What does BTV say about it?
  6. Bellhorn04
    Plus, the team had shown they didn't want to pay him 400 million.

    One difference I see with Mookie is that, supposedly, a prime motivator for trading Mookie was to get under the tax threshold and re-set. They're not really in that situation right now. Also, we look better set to contend going into 2022 than the team did going into 2020. To justify trading Bogaerts you would have to get something of serious value in return. But I'm not sure teams will be as eager to give up talent for Bogaerts, a 4-5 win player, as the Dodgers were for Mookie, an 8-10 win player.

    Bloom is the guy who makes the personnel moves, so it seems to make sense he'd be discussed a lot. Just as DD was discussed a lot when he was the guy. And he still is discussed a lot. He gets criticized a lot but he also gets supported a lot.
  9. Bellhorn04
    I agree. Eovaldi's contract was based more on recency and upside. Fortunately, DD's upside bet has largely been vindicated.
  10. Bellhorn04
    But we'd also have to consider how much of the 2022 payroll cost can be attributed to DD.
  11. Bellhorn04
    They're snakebit...
  12. Bellhorn04
    More than likely. But he's only projected to get 3 years @ $9 mill.
  13. Bellhorn04
    The price tag fits.
  14. Bellhorn04
    Not even Dombrowski would.
  15. Bellhorn04
    I realize that. They compute RAR for the different categories and total them, then convert to wins.
  16. Bellhorn04
    I thought I was looking at DEF RAR.
  17. Bellhorn04
    Yes.
  18. Bellhorn04
    Right, the big question with Devers is how much money for a great hitter/bad defender.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Bogaerts is a better defender than Devers. FanGraphs has him at +39.8 RAR for his career. Devers is at -10.3. But in both cases I look at total WAR, myself. Both of them are such good hitters that they much more than compensate for their defense.
  20. Bellhorn04
    I would guess that the projections are well below the player's potential, but in order to be realistic they have to factor in the risks of injury and underperformance.
  21. Bellhorn04
    Heaney is projected to have a 1.9 fWAR in 2022. His numbers do suggest he's not as much of a bum as he looked with the Yankees last year.
  22. Bellhorn04
    It's kind of a joke that he isn't. But the award is a joke anyway.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Worst first signing ever.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Right. Now if he had a positive fWAR, we could extrapolate it into a better number. But with a negative fWAR, it only gets worse...
  25. Bellhorn04
    Freeman just completed an 8 year deal? Holy crap I'm old.
