Exactly. I'd rather have Wong than Vaz, even if they were at the same pay! Plus, he ain't winning rings. BTW, I'm tired of watching ex Sox players win rings, too.
-
MVP suggested we trade for him while LAA paid $140M of the close to $250M he is owed. I don't think it's worth the risk. Do you at $110M/7?
-
Yes, I know. I'd still pass. I'm tired of playing the IL two Step.
-
If we end up adding 6-8 new players to the 40, the difference between drohan and the bottomg of the 40 man roster guy should be negligible.
-
I'm not worried about losing Drohan. I had higher hopes for Ward and Song, and I wasn't too choked up losing them, either. Let's see, if there is one GM who likes Drohan that much.
-
I'm not arguing Duran will be better, although Duran would likely replace ref in LF after PH'ing or PR'ing in most those other 42 games. I'm not for adding $100M to the budget with an oft-injured LF'er, when we have too many LF'ers as it is. Sure, he'd look shiny in the "on paper" line-up, and maybe he'd get a few more fans in the seats, only to be disappointed he's on the benhc that game, but the plusses don't outweigh the gains.
-
And, what he thinks about Wong and McGuire's current and possible skill levels behind the plate and how well they work with our staff.
-
The thing Garver brings, besides a likely step down on catcher D is a big plus on offense from the catcher position. Every team plays and bats a catcher. We could make huge gains against most teams at that position, on offense. Adding someone who increases our LF or DH OPS by .100 might not match the increase we could get at catcher.
-
Nobody doubts Trout's skills and ability to be a 5+ WAR player, although after 32, it might not be so much of a sure bet, but it's all about staying on the field.
-
To play more than Trout by maybe a factor of 2-3, minimum.
-
The Angels would be dumping almost $150M, so maybe they'd say yes.
-
It's about the 26, too, although with the A's, not so much. BTW, I thought we had 4-6 guys I'd drop to keep Drohan on the 40- NOT the 26!
-
We can argue until we all turn blue about how and why Henry should spend more, but the reality is that he does, but only to a certain degree. There will be a finite budget, this winter, like it or not. What we spend on one player, we won't on another or others. That's just the way it is. I'd rather we spend on pitching, pitching and more pitching, and not injury prone, declining players. I doubt Trout matches Pujols' numbers post 32... .754 OPS He won't come close to 122 games per year, and AP did that over 10 more years after 32. Trout's .968 OPS since 2020 looks nice and shiny in preseason line-ups on paper, but he's averaged 79 games in the past 3 seasons (336 PAs.) That was during "peak physical prime." Seriously, I'd rather have Yoshida, even if they were paid the same, so it's not about just the "almighty budget."

I fixed your post for you.
-
All part of the big corner.
-
Yes, of course, and the 26 man roster on many bad teams have room to park a guy. I think there are several better choices out there than Drohan.
-
Almost every time, it's the highest bid, and the player says that team "showed him the most respect." A few times, it's about location, but money still plays a major role in the choice.
-
It will have no effect on the Yama negotiations. If the Yanks offer the most, he's as good a Yankee. I'm hoping the Yanks get Ohtani.
-
We already have tried a rotation of hobbled starters. Sure, let's try it for everyday players! Yes, Trout COULD ___________. Most likely, he WON'T! Also, Yoshida is much more likely to play 2-4 times the games and might just do well, going forward. Talk of Anthony or Mayer for a broken down- ex-star is not my idea of doing something bold and logical. BTW, some of us like the idea of trading for Burnes (and extending him.)
-
I don't get the wish for Trout? Unless you are a fisherman.
-
I'm not even sure I'd give Yoshida for him.
-
I'm not so sure. He sucked in AAA and has to stay on the ML roster, all year.
-
Easy pass for me.
-
The Whitlock story is a rare one.

The Padres have claimed right-hander Logan Gillaspie off waivers from the Red Sox, per a team announcement out of Boston. The Padres have several open spots on their 40-man roster, so a corresponding move isn’t necessary. Boston’s 40-man roster count is now down to 38 players.
