    Hey you gotta teach kids to lose. Anyone can be a good winner…
  2. notin
    It’s easy for them to attach some compensation. Is it accurate? Probably not. And maybe they don’t factor it at all simply because acquiring a player like Chapmen in July doesn’t guarantee even making the postseason…
  3. notin
    Are you sure they don’t compensate for that? I don’t know either. But if you read Bitzer’s articles and posts, they do adjust values for very marketable players (like Betts) and they also knock down values of some players who require a 40 man roster spot…

    Exactly how does that change by trading players on July 15 as opposed to August 1? My point is this isn’t just buyers sitting on their hands. The selling teams have no reason to deal until all the offers are on the table…

    Oakland in particular when they were unloading big contracts. They seemed to focus on quantity when trading Chapman and Olson. Maybe their scouts really liked a bunch of players that the services who do the projections used by BTV just didn’t like. Or maybe they just cared about shedding payroll. But those trades were all very lopsided on BTV…

    There’s no reason for the sellers to accept any deal that doesn’t blow them away…

    When my daughter started playing sports and got upset with losses, I had to remind her “losing is 50% of sports.”

    I don’t feel too bad for him http://www.playerwives.com/mlb/san-diego-padres/mark-kotsays-wife-jamie-kotsay/

    When you list Crawford after Paxton, it makes me think of this guy https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/c/crawfpa02.shtml

    Unless they think Anthony Rendon is lonely in the Upper Upper Class section of the Injured List…

    There is a greater chance of myself being cast to play Little Orphan Annie in the next two Star Wars sequels. The Yankees just signed Judge to a huge contract, which, if the Angels could afford, would equate to a substantial down payment on Ohtani. Not to mention, the Yankees seem unlikely to go for a short term solution for a team with nothing but long term problems. Because dgalehouse was right; without Judge the Yankees are not a playoff team…

    That just sounds oddly cannibalistic…
  13. notin
    More like a homeless man’s Ohtani…

    LOL Pretty sure he meant Miley. He might have even made that comment prior to Kimbrel’s part in the combined no hitter. Miley would go on to get released by the Reds that year despite having a very reasonable option year left…

    Are you calling him fat?

    But twice in 3 weeks is a bit frequent…

    Pivetta might be pitching himself back into the rotation…

    Joe Castiglione once mentioned of all the Sox players he’s met, almost if of them were nice people. And only one player stood out just terribly unfriendly and unpleasant. I got the impression if EEI let Castiglione say “*******”, he would have. He didn’t name the player, but he did follow up with “he has a no hitter this year.” Castiglione made that comment in 2021…

    He has a player option for $13.4mill with a $6.7mill buyout if he opts out, meaning anything over a one year $6.7mill deal is a pay raise…
  20. notin
    And Turner. It’s a $6.7mill buyout. He’s taking it…
  21. notin
    So… Stroman?
  22. notin
    Why not?
  23. notin
    He’s been a mildly pleasant surprise, but we probably never mention the name again after 2023…
  24. notin
    A team looking for a RHH power bat might take a flier on Dunn. Jorge Soler wasn’t exactly lighting up NL pitching when Atlanta acquired, presumably only because the price was right. And that deal could not have worked out any better…
  25. notin
    So he’s not in the bullpen?
