    I think he gets Story money: $140M/6 or $120M/5- maybe with inflation: $150M/6 or $130M/5. (JH will not okay that deal.)

    The betting odds favor a guy named Tristan Casas as our 2026 1Bman with Romy/KC as depth. The odds favor Yoshida/Romy at DH for 2026. The odds favor Mayer at 3B or 2B for 2026. The slot that is wide open is the one Mayer does not play: 2B or 3B.

    My bad. We needed 2023 numbers over 2024 IP'd. Now, we need better than 2023 numbers and 2024 IP. Again, not likely.
  4. moonslav59
    Curious on Alonso & Schwarber.
  5. moonslav59
    At least he earned his.
  6. moonslav59
    The Dodgers have no top 5 pitchers. Maybe Yamamoto is #5. 1. Skubal 2. Skenes 3. Crochet 4. C Sanchez 5T. Webb, Fried, Yamamoto and maybe H Brown or Sale.
  7. moonslav59
    Yup. He could be our #2 because everyone else has not earned the slot, but he could pitch better than 2024 and be okay as a #2, and if our #3, 4 and 5 do okay, too, there is a chance we could still make the dance. (Not likely, yes.)
  8. moonslav59
    It might pay the bar tab.
  9. moonslav59
    There is a chance Crawford becomes our #2 or 3 SP'er in 2026- or never starts another game for us. Most likely, he'll be our #5-6 SP'er.
  10. moonslav59
    We also dumped all of the remaining Diekman contract. It was a decent deal on both ends.
  11. moonslav59
    I'm just glad they took Diekman.
  12. moonslav59
    He looked okay on D, but nothing special. I do think the odds are 2025 was an outlier, but maybe not. I do not hand hima FT job- for sure. What impressed me most was his okay numbers vs righties. I thought he might be our next Refsnyder, but maybe he can be more.
  13. moonslav59
    There is no possible way we let Crawford walk. At worst, we trade him.
  14. moonslav59
    Lodolo for Duran even saves us $3.5M. That may not seem like much, but if the goal is to spend up to but below the tax line, $48M might get us two really good players while $44.5M may get just one plus a decent other one.
  15. moonslav59
    Dreaming of dumping.... Yoshida ($37M/2) Hicks ($24M/2) Casas (3 arbs) Crawford (3 arbs) Clarke & Sandlin Sonny Gray ($40M/1 and $25M AAV) & Willson Contreras ($41M/2 and $17.5M AAV) We give up about $41M AAV for $43M AAV. Yes, only a dream.
  16. moonslav59
    The O's are still paying Chris Davis something like $9M a year.
  17. moonslav59
    We might be able to get Suarez and Merrill for around the $45M or so we have to spend and stay below the tax line, assuming that is the budget. Any subsequent trades would have to be even money, at worst. Duran's AAV is $8M and Campbell's is $7.5M.
  18. moonslav59
    I think we need more of a power bat, and I think he probably wants to be a SS, at least for a few more years. I'd take Alonso at the prices I listed, but getting Suarez might allow us to get a second major FA (not on this list.)
  19. moonslav59
    Romy even hit near the league norm vs RHPs (.718.) Was it a fluke, or does he deserves a shot at much more playing time? He was 5th on the team in PAs (283) from June 2nd on.
  20. moonslav59
    You did say "coming off the books, this winter," but I don't really want to nit-pick. I will say, if you are counting the possible $2M cut in pay to Muncy as part of the $96M, then why not count: Plus 5M Scott, 4M Treinen, 2M Yamo, 1M Snell
  21. moonslav59
    We could extend every promising prospect and young MLB player, but we aren't getting over the hump with what we have. Plus, we have to replace Bregman, Gio, Wilson & Refsnyder. Just replacing these 4 in kind may take a deals longer than 3 years. Then, asking to significantly improve with no long deals is like asking for Bloom to find ges in the ruff x 5. How did that work out?
  22. moonslav59
    We've done this, and may end up missing on one or two, but we aren't likely to win without some kind of major boost. 4 years deals don't get those big boost guys, anymore
  23. moonslav59
    Would you do Duran, Campbell or Garcia plus Clarke for Greene?
  24. moonslav59
    Thanks GG. We can't even just replace Bregman with Bregman and Gio with Gio. We can't think running back he same team with hopes that Anthony and Mayer stay healthy and improve will be enough. We can't pin our hopes on IL-returning pitchers like Crawford, Dobbins and Sandoval. We need 3 major additions. Maybe we can get by with two mega ones and a decent fill-in.
  25. moonslav59
    If the Sox add just one big bat, this winter, via free agency, which player would you hope we sign? $150M/5 Alonso (31) or Bichette (28) $125M/5 Bregman (32) $110M/4 Schwarber (33) $70M/3 E Suarez (34) I know my numbers might be way off, but choose just one
