    I think he should have to move to 2b at some point. Now who knows how willing he is….

    Has any player ever gotten anything but a raise in arbitration? Of course, his willingness to accept offers does help him here. There are competing teams with word situations in LF that might be interested. Atlanta, who has been using Mauricio Dubon and Mike Yastrzemski leaps to mind, especially with Yastrzemski hetting injured. San Diego hasn’t replaced Ramon Laureano yet, although their status as buyers is questioned, and their long-standing interest in Duran may be tempered. But what either team might give up for Duran is certainly not what it was a year ago. At a minimum, if either team can give up a guaranteed contract for Duran, it becomes a cost savings since Duran can be non-tendered…

    Enlighten us to what the folks outside the Internet are saying…

    Fair. His remaining production will definitely be front-loaded…

    Especially with so few teams definitely out. Thsts why I think the Angels, Royals, Reds, Rockies and Athletics are the only definite sellers. (And historically the Rockies just sit this stuff out.) Washington, Detroit, and San Diego are sitting on the fence. Maybe Arizona, Baltimore and Toronto as well…

    Ok. But he was an 8fWAR shortstop last year, and I believe he will be worth at least 15 fWAR over the next 5 years. It doesn’t even feel like a stretch…

    Optimist: We’re sixth overall! Pessimist: We’re worse that the Pirates and Marlins!!

    You do realize well over 99% of Internet trade suggestions (of which this wasn’t really one) never happen, right? But without them, it greatly reduces forum discussions. And it’s not like they’re limited to TalkSox. I challenge you to find a baseball forum on the internet that doesn’t have any. I can understand his contract being a deal breaker; you’re not alone there and it absolutely has potential. But in this case, some folks think it’s a hypothetical risk worth taking. Of course no one knows if Lindor is even available…

    No bat would be crushing. If you can’t get a bat, sell Chapman and Gray quickly…

    If he stays healthy, I bet Lindor accrues more WAR over the next 4 years than half the starting shortstops in MLB…

    No one said Breslow will do it. No one said the Mets would either, and no mention of a return. The only discussion was that his contract isn’t a horrible deal breaker for some. What if you really understood how hypothetical situations worked?
  12. notin
    I only commented on Cronenworth’s availability and said he would be remarkably easy to acquire, and did so in such a way that it should not be considered an endorsement. Because it wasn’t. I wouldn’t deal Yoshida’s contract for Cronenworth at this point…

    I do think several teams are willing to buy low on Duran…
  14. notin
    … and his release before the bonus was likely more a case of the Sox giving him up to the last minute to figure things out as opposed to saving some pennies…
  15. notin
    He read the scouting reports…
  16. notin
    Or Geico brings back their cavemen, where he can get cast alongside Brandon Marsh…

    1. Not his lowest possible value. He can play worse, and he will get more expensive while his years of control pass by. 2. Eaton, Campbell, Braiden Ward, Yoshida, trade deadline acquisition, and at some point, Roman Anthony.

    I do still think selling is the smarter move, but I’d also be disappointed if they actually did it…
  19. notin
    Damn you!! That song has been my ear worm for the past 4 days!!

    They are practically twins…

    Traded who for Diaz? Harrison?
  22. notin
    A tad melodramatic. Devers wasn’t sacrificing his career by moving to 1b, as he has clearly shown in SF. In fact, given his terrible defense at 3b, he was more likely extending it than ending it. As has been the case with numerous slugging third basemen with bad gloves before him…
  23. notin
    Right now, Harrison for Durbin and Seigler looks pretty useful, especially with Harrison experiencing forearm tightness, which can have ominous implications. For all the talk of Milwaukee turning our former prospects into success stories, they also seem to burn them out rather quickly…
  24. notin
    Sort of where I was going. Lindor was worth nearly 8fWAR last year. If the Mets paid $50mill of his remaining $170mill, he would have to be a 3 fWAR player on average to justify that trade. He is going to decline, but will he decline below 15 fWAR over the next 5 seasons? If he does, it’s most likely due to injuries keeoing him off the field. All that said , I’ve heard zero buzz about the Mets even thinking of trading him…
  25. notin
    He’s no Mookie, but he is in that tier of player. Obviously it’s unlikely the Mets even move him and they don’t have anyone being him that I know of. I’d take him as well as long as it’s not a crazy trade, but I don’t think it will ever come up…
