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.

The 6th inning has been his downfall. Innings 1-5: 3 runs allowed 6th inning: 5 runs allowed OPS Against by innings: .520 1st .500 2nd .500 3rd .641 4th .450 5th 1.125 6th Times facing a batter: .493 1st .548 2nd 1.203 3rd

Good to see Vaz show some pizazz!

The idea would be to PH Renfroe for Cordero or Cordero for Renfroe after a pitching change, but a manager might be reluctant with a 2 man bench. (I don't count Plawecki.) Renfroe still has a massive split differential, while Cordero has yet to show his normal wide L-R split. For the same reason the 14th pitcher offers more options rather than filling a need, so does having a 3 man bench vs a 2 man bench. I might offer the argument that there is actual need for the extra bench guy, either as a PH'er, a defensive replacement or just to offer flexibility or an emergency back-up. The horse has been beaten enough. It's not a major issue that affects the team that much either way.
-
Gonzalez>Arroyo? (I'm not complaining.) Good to see no Renfroe or Cordero.
