    Only in Tampa, where they can’t afford starting pitching...

    Not to mention, using just the bullpen is an awful idea. Using an AAAA starter might cost you one game. Using multiple relievers to cover 9 innings might cost you two or three...

    I Why not? There’s no rule that you have to use them all. The more mediocrities you have, the more likely one of them works out...

    Per a quick Google search, Miami rejected Chavis and Groome (not together from what I could tell) for Streckenrider already. Swihart certainly isn’t the difference maker there and I doubt Houck is, either...
  5. notin
    I’d e hesitant, but I actually think Miami wouldn’t accept that deal anyway. They seem to focus on players a lot closer to MLB than Casas...
  6. notin
    But what would constitute an off year for JDM? Winning only one Silver Slugger?
  7. notin
    DD reportedly tried to get Streckenrider before and found the asking price to be outrageous...

    Sergio Romo and Brad Brach combined to make $7.7mill and returned a combined 1.2 fWAR. Kimbrel and Kelly combined for 2.2 fWAR. If payroll is a concern, the drop off isn’t as much as one might expect. Of corse, Romo’s arm could fall off any second now...

    It’s not that he is done spending on the bullpen; he just isn’t chasing longer 8 figure deals right now. MLBTR reported the Sox only offered Kelly 2 years and a lower AAV than Los Angeles, and commented that this does lend support to earlier reports about DD not spending heavy on relievers...

    Mostly because the Yankees have already acquired or re-acquired 3 starters already this off-season and none of them have options. Couple that with two returning starters. Of course they still can trade Paxton or Severino in another move...

    I get that BVW is new to this GM thing, but the Cano trade screamed “We’re NOT rebuilding!!” loud enough to be heard at both poles simultaneously....
  12. notin
    I’m still operating on my theory that the White Sox wanted to get rid of Sale. I see no equivalent reason why the Mets would want to unload Syndergaard. Therefore, you have to really twist BVW’s arm to get him. And there is also the BVW factor. The guy is new to the GM game and his hiring was widely questioned. Think it makes sense for him to unload one of his best and most popular player for a prospect rebuild package? This team just acquired Robinson Cano. They aren’t sending Thor anywhere, except maybe Westeros...
  13. notin
    Again, not so much the Mets marketing him as it is other teams asking for him. He’s a first year arb 5 fWAR pitcher. What team couldn’t use that? If the Mets do trade him, the return package should dwarf what the Sox gave up for Sale....
  14. notin
    It’s not. If the team is that strapped against the budget, maybe Eovaldi wasn’t the best idea...
  15. notin
    If his stock plummets. But if DD is going really cheap, I’d think Allen is out of his range,.,
  16. notin
    Some candidates might include: Hunter Strickland Sergio Romo Brad Boxberger Ryan Madsen Brad Brach Brandon Maurer Blake Parker Greg Holland Jim Johnson Matt Bush Any others?
  17. notin
    Sandy Leon leading off then!!
  18. notin
    So how exactly does the AAA phase of the Rule 5 draft work?
  19. notin
    Record holder?
  20. notin
    While true, that doesn't change the fact that the Mets can get players like that anywhere and keep Wheeler. The Mets certainly have a minor league pitcher or two they can call up who would give them more fWAR over 6 years than Wheeler gives them in one year. Why would they deal a very good starting pitcher to get a 27yo out-of-options pitcher with one meh season under his belt? Johnson and Swihart are nothing special. I'm not saying the Mets couldn't use Swihart and Johnson. But I am saying they won't deal their third best starting pitcher to get them...
  21. notin
    Yeah but that trade dies because they didn't want to include Syndegaard. Miami even tweeted that they need to send Syndegaard to the Yankees or the Marlins were going to deal Realmuti to a competitor. There's a link to that tween buried somewhere on these boards. If anything, the Mets seem hellbent on keeping Syndegaard...
  22. notin
    Did you say something?
  23. notin
    Which means I'm the forum leader, right?
  24. notin
    Did they ever announce that? Or is his name being thrown around because other teams keep asking for him?
  25. notin
    In 34 IP. Don’t forget that part...
