Usually, where there are high taxes, there is also a higher cost of living. People often move to places where they can get more bang for their bucks.

I liked him before he signed, but never as the top pitcher we sign.

Our top 3 RPers v LHB (OPSA) .609 Wink .615 Martin .650 Jansen

Are those splits for the pen only?
-
It’s the one thing we have quality and quantity.

JH spent a lot to build what looked like it should have been a 4-5 year window. The budget for2019 was higher than2018, despite not bringing back Kimbrell & Kelly. That’s what happens when studs move through arbs and close to free agency. I agree with Bell. The 2019 season soured JH. Hell, we came close to a summer fire sale by trading Betts under DD. That is evidence the change was already underway. I expected it to be for a couple years, maybe three, and in some ways the spending has increased a lot, but it got so low, it just looks like a lot. I also think JH is stuck in the 2017 market on some sort or time warp gig. -
Strawman.

Many of our righties do very well vs RHBs. One does better. If we can keep 3 of these 4 guys in the pen all year, our pen is set: Crawford Houck Pivetta Whitlock
-
He’s added 5 already- all excellent
-
Gray and ERod or Gray and Wacha would have given a glimmer of hope, assuming we also make a nice upgrade at 2B.
-
I’m not so sure about more playing time, but more likely, yes. Hey, why not just throw the ML ready kids out there and get a better read on who to keep around for the big push in ‘26? Dalbec Gambrell Murphy & Walter’s last look DHam Rafaela & Abreu Kelly and Guerrero Slaten and Mata See if Crawford can start 29+ games Punting can serve other purposes besides better draft picks and bonus pool monies.

He deserved it, though. He laid out a lot of cash from the Story signing in March ‘22 to March ‘23. Kluber was the highest AAV. Jansen was the largest total outlay. He botched the priority, but yes, it did play into the find a scapegoat plan, very well.
-
To me, the comment on offering Yamo more than the Price deal says it all. They wanted to meet with him last to tell him that? It’s so crazy, it’s hard not to laugh without snorting like a pig.
-
Just possession.
-
Bloom misspent. It wasn’t all on JH. The winter budgets of ‘22 and ‘23 were rather large.
-
Yes, one year contract- maybe one month of pitching.
-
Yes, I should have said year contract.
-
2028 might be the new target date for trying.
-
If Ohtani was worth that much money, how much was he worth as a 2 month rental, last summer? The Angels sure botched that non move. Word is, they are high on Snell.
-
Agreed, but Bllom could have made this suggestion come true.
-
We already are, aren’t we?
-
I might rather have Paxton and Merrifield on 1 year deals.
-
Nate & Kluber or Eflin & Kluber would have been forgivable.
-
So we do t deserve a franchise under your budget.
-
Even $50 a month more can make a big difference, but for most it’s way more than that.
