    You mean continue his strategy, but try and show it can work?
  2. moonslav59
    Out of all their top signings, I see 2 that worked well: Manny JD Damon is way down on the list, but if you adjust for inflation, you could count him. Lackey & JD Drew were okay to good.
  3. moonslav59
    Mahle is out for the start of '24- maybe half the season.

    Many of our biggest contracts have been extensions. Here is a list of our biggest contracts- extensions and free agents: Red= FA 314/10 Devers (12th highest contract in MLB history) 217/7 Price (25th in MLB) 160/8 Manny (55th not adjusted for inflation) 154/7 AGon (60) 145/5 Sale (64) 144/7 Crawford (68) 140/6 Story (71) 120/6 Bogaerts (94 w opt out taken) 110/5 JD (106) 110/8 Pedey II (106) 95/5 Pablito (135) 90/5 Yoshida (plus posting fee) 88/4 HRam 83/4 Porcello 83/5 Lackey 73/7 R Castillo 70/5 JD Drew 68/4 Beckett II 68/4 Nate 52/6 Dice-K (plus posting fee) 52/4 Ortiz 41/4 Youk 40/4 Renteria 40/4 Varitek 40/6 Pedey I 39/3 Victorino 38/3 Lowell 36/4 Lugo 32/2 Jansen 32/2 Napoli 31/4 Damon 30/3 Beckett I 30/4 Buchholz 30/5 Lester

    Was there a war on Manny? Price? Lackey? HRam? I know SFG made an offer for Pabilto and were upset he took more from BOS. We know there was not one on Yoshida.
  6. moonslav59
    Would you give Mayer, Crawford & Wikelman? Mayer & Duran? Mayer, Rafeala & Wikelman
  7. moonslav59
    I agree. Do you see Snell as significantly better than Imanaga?
  8. moonslav59
    Mayer instead or Duran likely gets the job done. (I should not have included Teel or Anthony.)
  9. moonslav59
    So, which do you prefer? Yamo at $325M/10 Or Burnes at $180M/7 Imanaga or Stroman at $145M/5 Mayer Teel
  10. moonslav59
    Fair point
  11. moonslav59
    BTV says Mayer and Duran for Luzardo is an overpay, but I doubt it gets the job done. A Mayer+ Crawford for Luzardo deal looks about even, but I think the Marlins hang up on that offer. Would this get it done? Mayer, Crawford and Wikelman for Luzardo I'm not sure I'd give Mayer, Teel and Wikelman. I'd say not to Mayer & Anthony or Anthony & Teel.
  12. moonslav59
    The trades & extensions are becoming rarer and rarer. I'm not sure the Glasnow trade is a sign of a swing back to that tradition. I will say, I'd love to get Burnes, but am worried about doing it without an agreement on an extension, and if the extension is like what Yamo gets, I'd rather have Yamo, Mayer and Tell than Burnes.
  13. moonslav59
    He's good enough, but yes, to fragile for what we need. BTW, is there any signing you think was worth it, this winter?
  14. moonslav59
    I don't think "quick" will matter, if we make a big splash deal, at some point.
  15. moonslav59
    Luzardo is drawing trade interest, according to MLBTR. I mentioned garrett and Luzardo, earlier. I like the years of control, but I doubt Mayer and second tier prospects can get it done. They will want 2 from Bello, Mayer, Anthony or Teel.
  16. moonslav59
    LoL!
  17. moonslav59
    I agree, and there is still time. I hope JH & Co. are feeling the fanbase pressure, and that it matters to them.
  18. moonslav59
    I should not have included Gray. I actually felt him on a shorter deal might be better than Monty for 7. My bad. You just seem like you gave up after Wacha and Lugo were announced.
  19. moonslav59
    Because SDP will want too much or because we don't like him enough? \ How about Polanco? Drury? Edman or Donovan? Cronenworth? (talk about 3 year declines)
  20. moonslav59
    I think we are or will be a top 3 finalist. I'd say the odds might be: 33% NYM 32% NYY 31% BOS 4% some sleeper
  21. moonslav59
    Hey, Scherzer will be having back surgery, so maybe we can trade for him!
  22. moonslav59
    I thought we were going to be the last team he visited.
  23. moonslav59
    They weren't the solutions we needed. Yes, I'd have prefered 2 from ERod, Wacha, Lugo and Gray than Giolito and Clevinger, but if that was the best we were ever going to do, it's a punt. Maybe it would have been a 65 yard punt, but a punt is a punt.
  24. moonslav59
    I'm feeling that, too. The only thing that may hold it up is some high bidding team asking him to wait for a better offer, for some reason. I think teams have let him know what they are willing to give.
  25. moonslav59
    Seriously, if plan B was Wacha and Lugo, I'd rather we just punt and go for 2025. There are more options than Yamo, Monty and Snell. There are trade targets that could easily be our plan B. I'm not defending their plan, but the off season is not over. I don't see missing out on Wacha and Lugo as significant, and I was pretty high on both as possible second best options, but there are more like them or better- like Imanaga, Stroman and maybe a coule others equal or better than those two. Hell, Paxton may do better than them, and I have him tier 4.
