That would b e STORK. Jacko comes around often. He was even bashing the Yanks for much of the year on the thread he started about the Yanks. Go look: he posted daily during their worst streak in a long time.
-
I don't see jacko as a troll or ignorant. He doesn't hide the fact that he is a Yankees fan. He offers an opposing view that is often biased, as many of ours are in the opposite direction.
-
You know for a fact, this Yankee killer tailed off due to his lower body? Sometimes, you crack me up.

And, if the Mets offer $325M?

We did get better by acquiring a catcher , while getting paid for him (minus Diekman and his salary plus McGuire.) We did add a better 1Bman for free (Hosmer) and a Dalbec/Hosmer DH should hit the .750 our DHs hit, this year. We did add Pham, the RH'd OF bat we craved, all year. We also added prospects (EValdez, WAbreu, MFerguson and Rosier.) We could have done better by selling off more assets, but we did improve for 2023. Yes, we lose Bogey, Wacha and Strahm, but the others (JD, Hill, JBJ, Diekman, Plawecki and the 2022 Nate can all be replaced, evenly or improved, for next to nothing. We have all their money plus Prices to fill Bogey, Wacha, and Strahm's roles. We could use a RF'er over Refsnyder, but even just him and Dugo in RF is better than JBJ. I'm surprised you made usch an "ignorant quote."

I think Dalbec's bat still has some hope. His D not improving, at all, sucks bigtime. He'd make a decent platoon DH, but who looks for that? It's weird he looks better at 3B than 1B, despite all the time he's had to work on 1B skills.
-
Not only did Dalbec rake in the minors, he walked a lot and had an OBP over .350. Not in the bigs!
-
That's not great. 60% crossing 140 games. It's probably not even average for good players not benched due to lack of production. It's not as bad as I made it sound, but "ignorant" is a bit strong. With his body type, I'd worry about even reaching 60% going forward. Plus, in 2016, he was called up in August and played 120 games between the minors and majors. He's no Stanton, but he's no Lou Gehrig, either.

How could I forget! Top 3, maybe. Also, pedro's no hits in 6 IP of relief vs the great Indian's offense. (They had scored 8 runs in the first 3 innings. -

I was 16 in '75, and I think more emotional than in '78. They both stung like hell. The whole ending to the '78 season that led up to that game made it way more meaningful than a 7 game series in '75, so I think I feel the same way. '86 hurt, too, but not like '75 and '78. How about the most wonderful moment in the last 50 years of Red Sox history that did not lead to a ring? 1. The Dave Henderson HR v the Angels 2. The 1972 season where we finished 1/2 game behind detroit due to a strike induced unbalanced schedule 3. The Fisk HR 4. The Dave henderson HR in the top of the 10th inning of game 6 v the Mets to put the Sox up Write in votes allowed... -
I think the first or second team in line would take him, assuming they don't have a roser crunch. Usually, bad teams don't. He still has promise. Unlike posters, GMs do not assign value based on just the previous 300-650 PAs.
-
I was talkin about the idea that I have been hating on Bogey.
-
It depends on how MIA evaluates Rafaela & Wikelman and nobody else offers them more. I'm not sure how badly they want to cut A Garcia's salary from their ledger. They may not want Duran or Wink for free. Maybe they want Seabold or someone we think is worth less. You never know. My guess is they'd say no to all these trades. Since Lopez is hitting higher arb costs, I think they'd rather move him.

If it wasn't for ghost runners... -
Back to my bubble wrap suggestion.
-
Now, you're talkin'!
-
Bogey was not a FA, when he signed his extension. Correa chose a higher salary over years, last winter. I do not think their FA values are that far apart. Bogey is more steady at the plate. Correa is a better defender and "clutch," if you believe that stuff, but he is injured, often, and has been under .790 several seasons in the last 5-6 years. I'd prefer Bogey, if the money and years are even, but it's a close call. I think Correa gets more, so to those who think I hate on Bogey, too much, ponder that statement.
-
A Garcia might be DFA'd before too long, but he would at least fill the RF/DH role for a while. He's just a salary dump to lessen the return, which essentially allows us to keep Casas I think E & F are better than the others, too. I might do any of these, if MIA insisted on just one.
-
He's "not likely" to be traded, and I would not be upset, if they do. That's not really "giving up." We may need to create roster room for all the FAs we will sign (lol)
-
Agrred. There might have been an extension or re-sign but not at those dollars and years.
-
I'm with you on this one, especially with Bogey. Maybe that offer they made to Bogey is close to as high as they will go, so nothing more could really have been done, except to get him to agree to a trade. Offering him a QO will only hurt his FA value.
-
So, Brasier, DHern and Downs for Jo.

If either go the other way, we might have won. Lots of "ifs" in that game. That game was almost as heart-breaking as the '75 WS or the '86 loss, although I was older in '86 and was kind of expecting a loss, to some extent. -
But, maybe not more than Judge.

In-season negotiations are sometimes not wanted by the player. Maybe, something will be done (or decided) early in the off season.
