That was kind of my point. All w know for sure is that Bogey did not agree to any number we offered or floated or hinted at. We don’t know what those numbers were or what Bogey would have said yes to. For all we know he might have said no to $200M/8, unless offered 3+ years ago. Maybe $220/9 was his number. Unless or until we know for sure, I’m not sure we can call it a mistake. Maybe, if we knew the number we’d have been glad we let him go, assuming we’d spend that Money elsewhere. (Yeah right.)
-
He was kidding.
-
Okay. I would have flipped them.
-
Hard to know, if that game matters at all for 2024.
-
Are we going to revisit the wide array viewpoints on who is an ace or #1?
-
I’d prefer Sale at $3M.
-
We don’t know what Bogey would have signed for. Probably all of us would haves loved getting him at 160/6. Most, including me, would have been fine with200/8, but I won’t speak for everyone. Would he have taken that? If he wanted 240/8, did we really make a major mistake?
-
But, but, but what about Paxton. Maybe we sign Stroman or Imanaga.
-
Are you sure Teoscar is better than O’Neill in RF on D?
-
lol! So we basically swapped Sale for Giolito and Grissham, this week.
-
Shocking. Now, I wonder why we aren’t spending on top pitching even more than I have, this whole winter.
-
I’m not optimistic, but some hope still remains. Once Snell and Monty are gone, Imanaga or Stroman would not be enough, IMO, so the top pitcher would have to be by trade. That is a possibility, so hope is not gone. I’m just looking at a5 year trend and thinking I need to see the change to believe it. I still have hope but no optimism or expectations for us adding 2-3 excellent players.
-
I agree. To me, we have 2 or maybe 3 major slots needing improvement, and #1 is a solid 1-2 SP. 2 is 2B 3 might be CF/RF or C We have $37M to stay under the tax line and should be able to go$19M above that. We have trade capital to use, as well. Absolutely no reason for not filling all 3 slots with very good to excellent players.
-
I see him as a solid 2 with a chance to become a #1. He might be close to the best SPer with 3 or more years of control that is a realistic trade candidate. Would you trade Duran and Mayer for Luzardi and Berti, then sigh Teoscar to play LF?
-
I do t know a single poster who did not want Bogey back. I’m not concerned about JHs wallet, but if you think he’d pay Bogey what SDP gave him and then sign more players to build up around Bogey, dream on.
-
We still need a solid 1-2, or this season does not look promising, at all.
-
True. Look at Puvetta’s finish, too, and he has a larger body of work as an innings eater. Like I said, I’m fine with either one. With Sale counted in the 5, both will likely start 20+ games even we add a #1 or 2/3 type.
-
I’m fine with Crawford over Pivetta, but I like Pivetta as our 5 a little more. Crawford last 10 starts: 4.75 ERA, and there was no divorce. I’m ok with Pivetta to the pen to make way for Gio. We can yank a starter real early with Nick in the pen (or Kutter.)
-
I’m with you on the project thing, but if we add a top pitcher, Gio is a good secondary get. On Nate, I loved the guy, but he was not a horse. He only started over 23 games in one of the 4 seasons of that 4 year contract: 23/33 9/12 32/33 20/33 84/111 is75% of available starts.
-
I doubt we tried hard enough, but we don’t know what Bogey would have accepted, either. I want to think he’d have taken $200M/8, but who knows
-
I wanted Bogey to stay but not at anywhere near what SDP paid him. I do think we had a chance to extend him for less, but how much less May never be known. It’s all speculation. While his defense seems to have levelled off at a not a really bad level, his offensive production has dropped noticeably over the last 2-3 years.
-
Get one more starter and Crawford moves to that already nice pen.
-
I’ve never mentioned those splits. His 2022 numbers were not impressive either. He may end up being a good or even great signing. At his age, a bounce back is certainly in play. I’m just tired of relying on bounce back or project type starters. I’m with
-
I updated possible offers
-
I know the arguments, well. We have no idea he’d have taken $160M/6 at any point during his last 2 years here. Or even $200M/8. I wish we did extend him. I don’t think the value per contract has made Bogey look better than Story, so I don’t agree with ghe point I responded to. Of course, I wish we had Bogey over Story, but not at these price comps.
