I do, too, and I was the guy saying pay him $400M/14. Had we not had Sale and Price's contracts, it would have been much easier.
-
The deferred money does not count after the 12 years are up? Are you sure about that? Why not sign everyone like this, then?
-
And, that assumes we kept Betts AND he signed with us. Plus, Price's 70 ERA+.
-
Either way: it's $30M x 12 or $25M x 14 or 15 years. Go with $25M + $16M from Price, and we have Betts and Price with no Verdugo and $41M less to spend last winter. That's basically more money that everybody we signed. We'd have this 26 man roster plus maybe dumping another salary somehow: Eovaldi, ERod, Sale, Price, Pivetta, Houck (No Richards or Perez) Barnes, DHern, Whitlock, Valdez, Brasier, Brice, Taylor, Bazardo, Brewer (No Ottavino, Andriese, Sawamura) Vaz & Plawecki Dalbec Arroyo & Chavis (No Marwin or Downs) Devers Bogey Cordero (No Renfroe) Duran (No Kike) Betts (No Verdugo) JD Not only is this team worse (maybe debatable) , the farm is worse (not debatable) and our future spending power is greatly diminished (not debatable).
-
Ummm, not trading Betts means we have Price's full $32M contract still on the books. That's over $45M to make up. Richards is $10M of that.
-
The point is that yes, we can afford him, but when you also have Price at $32M, Sale at $25M, JD at $22M, Bogey at $20M and Eovaldi at $17M, the rest of your roster is going to be full of players barely above replacement level, unless you have a strong, deep and balanced farm. Let's not for get the David Price part of that deal. It was Crawfordesque.
-
Oh, and I forgot to add the $16M saved by Price. Basically, every dollar we spent, this winter is still less than Betts + Price's half share.
-
We can argue about spending limits or no spending limits, but mix and match to reach the $30M Betts has for an AVV: Betts $30M or Verdugo $0.65M plus mix n match... $10M Richards $9M Ottavino $7M Hernandez $5M Perez $3M Marwin $3M Renfroe $2.1M Andriese $1.5M Sawamura Pick the worst bunch to reach $30M. Pick the best. Either way, who plays in the slots left vacant by the ones you pick? You can pray Houck, Duran, Bazardo and Chavis with no Verdugo could join Betts to make us a better team, but I'm not seeing it.

Pivetta has always had nasty stuff. His issue has always been the BBs. I had high hopes for him, this year and even projected him to do better than Perez (no biggie) and the same as Eovaldi. I also thought Kike would play more CF than 2B. My list of wrong projections is much longer. -
Who left the Barnes door open?
-
Seeking out new ways to win!
-
Still a Pivetta non- believer?
-
I'm starting to get used to this...
-
Sure is! One could also exclaim, "Since when has Barnes been a lights out closer?"
-
Since when has Marwin been a defensive whiz?
-
Less than $200K from min wage, right?
-
This isn't "stretching out" Whitlock, but in Cora I trust.
-
And we hit the ball hard while not swinging for HRs every AB.
-
Do we lead the league in GIDPs?
-
Time for a crooked number.
-
Maybe that's why the number was busy when I called.
-
Thank you, Bloom.
-
They yanked him just in time.
-
We keep missing scoring opportunities.
