    1 year longer than 1 is 2. 1 year longe rthan 2 is 3. I think he gets 2. I think red thinks he'll get at least 2, so maybe he gets 3.
  2. moonslav59
    I said one year longer than you think he should get.
  3. moonslav59
    He told us so many times, so I believed him.
  4. moonslav59
    I'm just tryiung to get a position statement and a reason. I'm being very polite.
  5. moonslav59
    So, your "feeling" is Breslow is okay?
  6. moonslav59
    We have too many players that are good at one thing but not others. Pivetta is most durable but is inconsistent with performance. Devers and Casas are great hitters but horrible on D. Duran has the speed but it doesn't seem to help him get to a plus on D. I could go on and on. How many very good and all around solid and dependable players do we have?
  7. moonslav59
    Also... Wong, Vaz & Dalbec at 2B Vaz at 3B
  8. moonslav59
    Players out of position did not help. Duran in LF is fine. Kike in CF was fine. Duvall in LF or RF would have been better. We need a healthy Story in '24.\ If Duran can play almost always in LF, that will help. 2B has upside with Urias and Reyes over Arroyo and Valdez. Casas may or may not improve. Devers is up and down and more down than up. I'm hoping Wong improves. If Rafaela's bat can carry him, we can see a big plus on CF D.

    1 year longer and $10M more than you think he should be. (That's kinda true for most good FA signings.)
  10. moonslav59
    So, we should have assumed Theo would suck?
  11. moonslav59
    To see if I missed something or misremembered something, or what?
  12. moonslav59
    Still, that's a different reaction to how he treated Bloom, day one.
  13. moonslav59
    I was thinking the same thing and wondered why Red disliked the Bloom signing, day one, but seems to be ok with Breslow.
  14. moonslav59
    I know. That does not take away from the point that they "could have."
  15. moonslav59
    Keller really isn't close to a #1. He might be a lower #2. 2 years of control for him and 3 for Bednar is probably not enough of a return for Mayer. You talked me out of it. Funny how some think PIT would say no.
  16. moonslav59
    While that makes sense, they could have let Bloom spend $19M over the tax line, last year and did not. The fans were restless, then, too.
  17. moonslav59
    Agreed, but I thought that for 2 winters, now. Did they think Story and Yoshida were shiny enough? Like Bell, I think adding an ace type is "mandatory," either by signing or trade. I seriously doubt we add a second top pitcher in one winter, but maybe we could, if the long term aspect is not part of the signing, so someone like Morton. (Kershaw will always be a Dodger.)
  18. moonslav59
    Nola has a say in signing, too.
  19. moonslav59
    Maybe a 3-way deal where Dugo goes to HOU or wherever, we send Mayer to PIT along with the prospect from Dugo, and we get just Keller and Bednar. (We then sign Duvall.)
  20. moonslav59
    PIT will likely trade Reynolds, this winter. The other two have several years of control. I do not think BTV's value on Mayer is too high. I have no idea how PIT values Mayer and Duran. Hell, it's hard for anyone to place a firm value on either one. I think PIT might say yes, or they might get a better offer from someone else. I'd throw in 1-2 from these roster bubble or blocked prospects: Walter, Mata (out of options,) Dalbec, Hickey, Lugo or maybe even Paulino or Jordan.
  21. moonslav59
    I think we do, but I've been expecting it for 2 straight winters and been let down. I'm not getting my hopes up on going right up to the second tax line or over it.
  22. moonslav59
    Nobody is saying trade Mayer for Bednar. Bednar was perhaps the 3rd most valuable return player in my suggest trade: Mayer & Duran for Reynolds, Keller & Bednar
  23. moonslav59
    IMO, we need 2 excellent SP'er and another good one. Even adding two very good SP'ers might take up all of most of the winter budget, which is unknown, as of now. To me, it make sense to trade for one younger SP'er and then sign 1 excellent SP'er. With the budget savings, we can spend more on ... 1. a 3rd SP 2. a better RHB (CF, RF, 2B?) 3. a LH RP'er 4. an upgrade at a 2nd position no filled by #2. I would be surprised, if we trade Mayer, Anthony or Teel. I think we might have to, if we want 2024 to be a magical season. (This could also be achieved without a major prospect trade, if our spending goes way over the tax line. I think a big trade is more likely than us spending $19.9M over the first line or beyond the 2nd line.))
  24. moonslav59
    I realize Duvall will get 2-3 years, minimum, and if he ends up losing another step on D, we'll have yet another LF/DH type on the roster, but RHBs are in short supply, and he can play a decent RF. Bite the bullet. Sign Duvall and trade Dugo.
  25. moonslav59
    Um, the trade was for Keller (a good SP), Reynolds (a good RHB) and bednar (a good closer.)
