  1. Yes, I'm sure about that. I think the Red Sox are still paying Manny and the Mets are still paying Bonilla. Do you see them in the tax numbers? That's always been the case.
  2. Simple answer - not everyone is willing to accept deferred money.
  3. I don't think Sale's or Price's contracts should have affected the decision. Price, Eovaldi and JDM are all off the books after next year. I'm repeating myself, but I just don't think they wanted to go as high as Mookie was asking.
  4. I'm still sorry to see Mookie go. But Chaim Bloom is the freakin' man. Getting a good return on that deal, and instantly turning us into a team with good pitching. Amazing.
  5. No, we're just talking about AAV for tax purposes. It's 25.5 * 12. Just as Chris Sale is 25.6 * 5, not 29 * 5.
  6. I'm only half-serious. Right now, though, old school Mets fans can only see a guy that signed a $341 million extension that doesn't even start until next year, and is hitting .203 on a team struggling to score runs.
  7. Mookie's AAV is reportedly 25.55 million because of the deferred money. Spotrac shows that. For some reason Cot's doesn't right now.
  8. Mookie = too small Judge and Stanton = too big
  9. Mookie is a .240 hitter now.
  10. I think Dave Dombrowski's biggest asset is that he is a very good evaluator of baseball talent. His biggest detriment is probably that he tends to focus on the most expensive talent.
  11. I think Higgy will be playing a lot more the rest of the way.
  12. It seems that way, but I wonder if the numbers back it up.
  13. Disagree. Trout earns his paycheque and then some. Angels paid Rendon 245 mill. I think they're OK for money.
  14. If we can hold the Mets to 1 run like we did last night, we have a shot. Also, I think we did OK against DeGrom last time we faced him.
  15. I can't help pointing out that Verdugo is outperforming Mookie so far in 2021.
  16. There is some growing chatter that Cordero may be demoted soon.
  17. I can see Torres turning things around.
  18. There's a certain breed of "fan" who thinks anything less than winning by something like 8-1, with no mistakes in the field or on the bases, is not good enough.
  19. OPS+ 2018 132 2019 117 2020 101 2021 71 Not a great trend for a 341 million dollar man.
  20. Based on the numbers for the last 3 seasons, Lindor may already be in serious decline as a hitter. And his extension doesn't even start until next year!
  21. jad, as of right now, 341 million man Lindor is hitting .212, and 365 million man Mookie is hitting .240.
  22. It's a long season, but as of right now, Verdugo has posted better numbers in 2021 than Mookie.
  23. Yeah, Bloom has been a disaster. You are so Looney Tunes.
