No, in fact I don't even consider Bogey or JBJ (possibly in a 3-way deal) as "low side". I'm thinking more like... Chavis plus any 2 or 3 from Houck, Travis, Ockimey, Beeks, Shawaryn, Scherff or Brannen. Maybe Groome & Chavis Maybe we trade JBJ and flip some of his prospects for Stanton and keep one decent one.

I'm totally fine with starting the season with Brentz as our 4th OF'er. We should only need him when someone is resting. If he struggles, finding a capable 4th OF'er mis season is one of the easiest things to do. (Brentz is out of options.)
-
He's had less than 400 games in the minors, so maybe there's room to improve in other areas besides power. He just moved to 1B from 3B, so he may improve on his defense. He's only 25. His .332 career minor league OBP is not that encouraging, but who knows this early. If we end up trading for Stanton or signing JD, then Brentz will not be on the 25 man roster barring a trade.
-
...and how we got Dice-K for way more than the next bidder.
-
Manny was owed a lot of money, so it's not really a fair comp. Nobody has ever trade a salary even close to this for just prospects. The closest comp I see out there was the AGon, CC, Beckett dump on the Dodgers, but even that trade involved LA taking CC in order to get AGon. Maybe Miami might force Prado on the team taking GS, but that should, in theory, lessen the return needed.
-
True enough, and his "star appeal" will bring many fans to the park and their TV sets. There's a good chance 2 or more teams get involved, but at $295M, I'm not sure moire than 2 teams will offer a bunch of talent.
-
If nobody offers a lot for Stanton and his whole contract, Miami will likely settle for the best they can get. There's a pretty wide idea of what that might be, and some of us will likely be surprised at how much or how little he ends up being trade for. My guess is it will be on the low side.
-
I share the concern, but 37 is not really that old. 8 years up to age 35 could be super productive. Even 36 to 37 might still end up being worth close to $30M, if prices keep rising anywhere near its current rate. "Buy a free agent!" If it's JD, almost all his years will be at 34 or over.
-
Not sure, but Dee Gordon and Prado have been mentioned by the press, whereas Yelich and Ozuna are apparently off-limits.
-
How often has it happened? Or even something similar to this?
-
You gave up a lot, but Healy is just 25 and has 5 years of team control at a low cost.
-
Mariners trade for Ryon Healy and his 5 years of team control. 25 HRs in 149 games (half in a huge park) .788 OPS in 888 career PAs This might take Seattle out of the 1B market for Santana and others.
-
Brentz is still el fuego... Mexican Pacific League Bryce Brentz had a solid week for Hermosillo, mustering six hits in 18 at-bats and launching his league-leading seventh home run of the season. Brentz did also walk eight times over the course of the last week, including a three-walk outing on November 11, and has raised his OBP to .342 on the season along with a .467 slugging percentage. Counting the summer and fall, Brentz has 38 HRs in under 500 ABs.
-
I totally agree, but often do teams trade for a $295M contract AND give up lots of top talent to get it?
-
It may end being an albatross, but certainly GS would get more than $295M/10, if he was on the market right now. The fact that his contract only counts as $25M a year for luxury tax purposes, his actual cost is much less to teams planning to be over the limit a few times over the next 10 years- Boston included. I do NOT think any teams needs to take the whole contract AND give up a lot of top talent, and I wouldn't give up a ton of talent, but I'd give something substantial.
-
It's about half per season. If you take Papi's last 6 or 7 years or whateber JD ends up getting, it's under half. Man, you guys are as nutty as I am on semantics.
-
JD is not a QO.
-
So, about half then. Way less, if you average it out.
-
Do they have MLB.com in Southern Florida? I heard they just got running water down yonder way.
-
I agree. I think EE was better than Santana, at least on offense. With Morrison, Alonso, Duda and Moreland all out there, maybe teams in need of a 1Bman will overlook the more expensive Santana. (I hope so, because I'd love to get him for $45M/3 or $56M/4.
-
I have a no trade clause.
-
More and more, I'm looking to Santana as the "logical choice". I realize he may end up with 4 years, but that's better than Hosmer at 5-6. I can see Santana getting $64M/4. I'd rather do that than $189M/7 for JD.
-
Yes. Even Papi didn't make half of that.
-
I hope he can put together a special season.
-
Why wouldn't he?
