    Who are these top quality dependable players you talk of? Whst are you jealous of that we've missed out on so far? Snell would have been exciting but came with obvious health issues and went for a big outlay. Fried got an 8 year deal. Eight! The fact you're trying to compare the AAV of Fried to Buehler and Sandoval in a post where I specifically referenced how bad the Sale and Price deals were show you're either willfully ignoring the main point, or so far gone with your annoyance that there's no point conversing with you on it anyway.

    It's not even Christmas and we've made a huge trade for a top of the rotation starter, been involved right to the end on Soto while bidding 700m for him, bid a substantial offer on Fried, added another starter with big upside and some smaller pieces and still you moan. I'm personally happy we didn't get Soto or Fried for their deals. But then I don't have a foot-stamping need to see money spent just because. The FO seems to have learned lessons from the Sale and Price deals. A pity some of the fans haven't.

    Yeah when the money is that low, it'll have zero impact on his decision. He'll go where he can win and be comfortable.
  4. Hitch
    They're obviously going to max out. Everyone is.
  5. Hitch
    I can reasonably guess based off Fried's deal and what journos are projecting for him. And at 7/8 years I'm glad we're not part of it. If his market dies and he's looking for a similar deal to Snell last year, then go for it. That seems highly unlikely.
  6. Hitch
    This is where people are at now. So DESPERATE to be annoyed, that even simple logic (and/or research) fails them. f***ing weird. For what it's worth, I'm glad we're going nowhere near Burnes for what he wants.
  7. Hitch
    It's like something has broken in him. 😐
  8. Hitch
    You have lost all perspective.
  9. Hitch
    So we add Teoscar and bull pen help and it's a bad winter? Absolute nonsense.
  10. Hitch
    Which would be a great off season.
  11. Hitch
    No QO extended to Buehler by the Dodgers either. Means we can extend one next year if he pitches well.
  12. Hitch
    Most likely he will be for 2026, but the best case scenario is that he can come back and help towards the mid-end of summer and into the play offs. Which is why I liked the move as long as he wasn't the only one.
  13. Hitch
    Love this signing. I was worried the Sandoval signing would mean nothing else was happening there. Very happy to be proven wrong and makes me like the Sandoval one even more. That's a tasty starting rotation now. You'd think that would mean the possible trades for pitching are no longer likely.
  14. Hitch
    Golito got injured after signing last year. As I say, if it's a depth move I like it. If that's that for the rotation it's horrible.
  15. Hitch
    I like the deal, as long as this isn't it for the starting rotation. The issue is, this is quite possibly it for the starting rotation.
  16. Hitch
    Happens in every front office of every sport, but yes the fact it was leaked is somewhat troubling.
  17. Hitch
    And then in a few years time be left with Burnes, Devers, Bregman (Crotchet you'd imagine) earning almost half the wage cap with our talented youngsters hitting arb years. We'd be screwed. I don't believe these Bregman rumours at all. It just makes too little sense - the money he will cost.
  18. Hitch
    Really liked this trade the minute I heard about it.
  19. Hitch
    So he's obviously not getting double if we have to make him a deal if he's pitching well then. I think we probably will sign him to an extension. I also think it's a big risk. But that comes with this and every choice.
  20. Hitch
    He's just been traded for 2 very highly rated prospects and 2 lower ones. We've shown our hand, the league and media loves him, just what do you see him and his agent accepting as his value? I think you're dreaming if you think he's signing a long term deal through his absolute prime years at anything under 20m a year. And if he's what we expect, or even better, pay him his 30m. But to extend him with such a small track record at what it will cost is very risky.
  21. Hitch
    He's not saying it's imminent next week but that if we extend him there's a more than solid chance he'll have a 2nd in that time due to the violent elbow snap on his delivery. No idea if he's on the money, I've barely seen him pitch. His injury record is sketchy at best though.
  22. Hitch
    I don't think we should be extending Crochet. Let's see if we really have what we think we have before doing another Sale. Keith Law calls him a TJ just waiting to happen.
  23. Hitch
    No chance. That would be a shocker.

    Yes but Fried could be a bust by year 3 and a sunk cost. And the short memories/wilful ignorance of fans means Breslow would have been in the wrong then, too. The guy can't win any way he goes. But that's what being a fan seems to be these days. Find your imperfection and moan about it. It's a step price but only Teel really hurts and I love the Narvaez trade. I'm just glad we're involved at the premier player table and making moves again..
