Pretty good, Ken. Fair and conservative.
-
No retreads for you.

I would take Odorizzi, sure. But there's no guarantee he pitches better than Price. I felt kind of neutral about offloading half of Price's remaining contract. Didn't like it much or hate it much. It was kind of a footnote to what really mattered in the trade.
-
Yes, it would be no surprise to see the Dodgers move Price now. And Dodgers fans will be saying "David, we hardly knew ye."
-
Go Jays!
-
Weber finished the season strongly last year. He'll be back this year, better than ever.
-
NESN ratings took a dive in 2019, that's why I feel comfortable saying there was a general malaise among the fans that year.
-
So after missing out on Bauer, the Mets will probably be the ones who sign Odorizzi...
-
Yep. While the old schoolers were tearing Cora to shreds, new schoolers were lambasting DD for Eovaldi, Pearce, the bullpen and the onrushing cliff. It was the whole package.
-
Friedman is knocking it out of the park. What's interesting is that it really takes a championship to make everything worth it. If the Dodgers hadn't come back from 3-1 against the Braves people would be making much of their continued title drought. And probably calling this Bauer signing 'desperate' and the like.
-
Not to belabor the point, but nobody enjoyed the 2019 Red Sox very much either. Red Sox fans are seriously spoiled after all the titles. 2019 was a perfect example. Fans spent the season either ripping Cora for RestGate or tuning out.
-
Jackso is right about one thing - the AL East is going to be a meat grinder. We're going to need guys like Ryan Weber to cover some garbage innings in blowouts...
-
We did have an excellent offseason in the coaching department. I'm happy about that.
-
A lot will have to go right with the pitching for us to be competitive. E-Rod, Eovaldi, Richards, Houck, Pivetta, Ottavino, whoever else you can think of...a bunch of guys will have to stay healthy and pitch up to or exceed expectations.
-
That one's on Sox 75 LOL...I'm not sure he read the article he linked very closely.
-
It kind of was, going from 69 wins in 2012 to 97 in 2013 and then back to 71 in 2014. Everything went right in 2013. A lot of upside randomness at work.
-
40 opt-out 45 opt-out 17 The AAV is 34 mill for 2021. It looks to me, though, that if Bauer opts out after Year Two, the Dodgers will get stuck with a 51 mill tax number for 2022, because the final figures will be 2 years and 85 mill.
-
Can't count on 2013 miracle seasons happening very often.
-
In my speculative thinking the message was "Sorry, guys, nothing team-friendly here. I'm playing hardball and I'm more than happy to stick it out till free agency."
-
With ex-Rays man Friedman at the helm. Kind of destroys that narrative that some have tried to apply to Bloom.
-
I think maybe they considered it a message.
-
All speculation once again, but when a guy asks $420 and you come back with $330, it almost falls in the insult category. Maybe that's why they didn't want to do it.
-
Mookie reportedly countered with $420 million. So that's a $120 million difference. I have no facts on why the negotiations ended there. I can only speculate. But usually in back and forth negotiations you have an idea where things are going to end up. Maybe they expected him to counter at $375 million or something. I can't really say. But $120 million is an awfully large gap.
-
Hopefully Bloom is playing the stealth game there.
-
Signing Ozuna also puts us well over the tax threshold, with our bigger needs still lying in the pitching area. It would make no sense at all, frankly.
