Correa seems so much better, too, so that does look like a better choice, but if we miss out on him, I can't see going light in RF, too. Swanson + Gallo loses one pick (we gain one losing Bogey) If we don't sign Turner, Correa, Bogey or Swanson as MLBTR suggests, don't we have to go larger in RF? Like Nimmo?
-
Certainly, a big reason for that choice.
-
Exactly. Soler to a lesser extent.
-
James Click, GM of the Astros parts ways with team. Wow! You win a WS and get offered a crappy 1 year deal. Rumor is David Sterns has long been coveted by Jim Crane.
-
That was sooooo long ago!
-
I doubt it happens, but I'm thinking... Swanson & Nimmo or Correa & Gallo
-
Story was hurt, and when he played, he did better than Baez and even Semien. 2022 OPS .772 Seager (83 RBI in 663 PAs) .770 Suzuki (46 RBI in 446 PAs) .737 Story (66 RBI in 396 PAs) .733 Semien (83 RBI in 724 PAs) .671 Baez (67 RBI in 590 PAs)
-
That's why I say... Devers Forevers with no qualifiers.
-
I'd go $110/5, but I doubt that gets him away from the Mets. $115 or 120/5 might, or $132/6. I'm thinking Nimmo or Swanson might be the best we can expect for everyday player signings. I'd be happy with both, but look what happened with Baez & Suzuki, last year.
-
Report: Dodgers close to re-signing Kershaw- no surprise.
-
That's how I see it. We need to make 2-3 major additions (FA or trade), and 3-4 moderate ones- like Gallo or Beni for the OF, and a couple solid but maybe not spectacular RP'ers.
-
You guys are starting to change my views on Gallo. I'm not sure that's a good thing.
-
It might take $24M x 6 to get Nimmo, but I don't think he's worth it. I really don't want Dugo in RF, but I like Beni's OBP. I'd rather have Beni at $12M/per + 2 RP'ers at $6M per over Nimmo at $24M/per. Yes.
-
That's exactly what that suggested trade was meant to highlight. Look for teams that want to cut salary, and get them to add a useful piece for less return. Kinda like Ottavino and German for nothing, but on steroids.
-
No, but 26 man, yes.
-
Soler was a salary dump to lessen the return needed, but he might allow Dugo to move to RF and give us some corner OF depth or even a starter- best case scenario. Cooper ust replaces Hosmer's roster slot. Maybe a change of scenery helps him.
-
Indeed. I'd be very happy, as long as they weren't gross overpays.
-
In theory, we could go ... $35M x 2 Verlander $30M x 9 Correa $24M x 6 Nimmo $6M x 3 Fulmer Of course, we won't. I doubt we even get one of those top 3 listed.
-
Well said, but almost every major FA signing looks like or turns into an overpay or major overpay after year 2 or 3. We have to bite the bullet, at some point, and hope we choose the right guy to pounce on. I'm wondering if contracts like the Story one is as high and long as we go. No more $210/7 deals like Price's. It's actually not a bad strategy, and it is working for the Astros, but the Astros have had a solid farm for over 5 years. We are just (maybe) coming to a point of expecting significant farm infusions, yearly..
-
A team never paying lux tax might have taken him, if it counted $6M on the tax line, but only min salary on the actual budget.
-
They would have paid Hosmer had they DFA'd him. Trading him got them Jay Groome and a tiny savings of the min salary deduction.
-
Who? We can extend Devers, starting in year 2024, if needed, and not go over the tax line.
-
If we do go big splash, Correa makes the most sense. While bringing Bogey back would be great, it would not feel like a big splash, even thought it would be.
-
This could be the year we make trades that involve taking on larger contracts. We could even take on a "dead money" contract along with a coveted player, so the return package would not need to be so great. I agree, the FA market is not all that great, but there are other ways to spend the $90M and improve the roster.
-
Up until now, I don't think the foundation was strong enough to build a winner with a few significant FA signings or trades, but starting at the 2019 deadline up to the Story signing, that's about all we have seen. I'm not sure 2023 will be the "pounce" season, but there is no reason not to make at least a couple moves that raise heads and open eyes. They can be m oves that brighten beyond 2023, and really, they should (must IMO.) Conforto on a one year deal to bridge to Rafaela? Sorry, we lose Kike, too, so we need a longer term solution for RF. No SS? Really? Are we really going to sign a one year bridge to Mayer, assuming he's ready by 2024? I'd be okay going short term at one of these two slots, if we go very big at the other- like maybe Judge in RF or Correa at SS. I'd love to see Swanson & Nimmo, but I doubt we even get one. We'll see what happens, but MLBTRs bummed me out.
