    Trade Dugo, Duran, Dalbec, Arroyo & Murphy for AGarcia, Luzardo, Wendle & Rojas and call it a winter.

    This signing is going to ruin the long narrative of so many posters. It may take days for them to regroup and find some fresh pathways.
  3. moonslav59
    I thought your sarcasm was worse than SC30's.
  4. moonslav59
    Way too little money and way to few years for a 26 year old with a .512 SLG.
  5. moonslav59
    I think some green font colors are needed, here.

    If Yoshida can replace Bogaerts’ bat, this team could actually be better than last year’s… And, IMO, Turner should outhit the 2022 JD. Casas should easily out hit and defend our 1Bmen of 2022. A healthy Kike and Story can gives a boost on O & D. The pen is way better, even without Whitlock. It will likely come down to the rotation and Yoshida.

    How about the first Q? I went into this winter wondering, if we could extend Bogey or Devers, and I wished it was Devers: check. I hoped we could replace Bogey's bat, elsewhere: check. I hoped we'd add defense at SS as a bridge to mayer: unchecked. I hoped we'd fix the pen and add a solid #2 SP'er. Half-checked.

    I'm waiting for someone to say we signed him, so we could trade him.
  9. moonslav59
    No, they should have locked him up, when his stock was high. So, we lock up Casas at 8M x 10 and Bello at $9M x 10, and we squeak under the tax line in 2023, and even the Bloom bashers would have to say something good about him for 3 minutes.
  10. moonslav59
    2 questions: How many, here, thought we even had a 50% chance at extending Devers? How many now view this winter's moves as a success, overall?
  11. moonslav59
    Prepare to be surprised, once again.
  12. moonslav59
    Extending them, now, starting in 2023, would allow the tax hit to be lower going forward, while still keeping us under the tax line for 2023.
  13. moonslav59
    I told you he responded to crybaby fans. Sometimes, they may serve a positive purpose.
  14. moonslav59
    The same for 2023, yes, but this is huge. No opt outs. No no-trade clause. The monkey is off our backs. Big sigh of relief, and not just for fans. We still have about $17M under the tax line, so maybe the 2023 roster is not quite set. I still think w etrade for Rojas or Mateo and shouldn't have to much up for either. I'd like to see us have a better defensive RF'er, but I'm okay with L- Dugo and R- Ref. I think Yoshida & Turner can make up for the loss of offense from Bogey & JD, and in terms of RBI production, maybe a lot more. The pen is better. The rotation is the big question.
  15. moonslav59
    There is one report the deal is $331/10 and not $332M/11.
  16. moonslav59
    I doubt JH would ever have signed both Devers & Bogey, so IMO, we should be happy we signed the right one.
  17. moonslav59
    Since the Devers extension kicks in, next year, we might be at about $17M under the 2023 tax line. That could probably be just enough to add Andrus and Fulmer.
  18. moonslav59
    It's cream, not milk.
  19. moonslav59
    I certainly feel a lot better about this winter, now. It looks like a team-friendly deal, especially in light of the recent mega deals just signed. It's no longer a dream... DEVERS FOREVERS !!!!
  20. moonslav59
    I thought they might start the extension, this year, but apparently it begins in 2024. Does that mean we will spend more, this year, to get us close but not over the tax line?
  21. moonslav59
    He will be just 31 years old when year 6 begins, making the majority of this 11 year deal within prime. That's what makes extending Devers a better idea than 11 years for Bogey, or maybe even 6-7 years for Bogey.
  22. moonslav59
    My prediction on mea culpas: zero.
  23. moonslav59
    Of course you did not. If you had, he would not have signed it.
  24. moonslav59
    MLBTR just reported, a Devers' deal is done! $332M/11 Includes a $20M signing bonus that greatly improves the true value of the deal. The is not a no trade clause.
  25. moonslav59
    I know this one excites many, here... I can't wait to watch McGuire "expose himself" as the catcher of our future and to show fans just how much catcher intangibles matter.
