Do I dare text my Cubs” fan daughter, who actually liked Crook?
-
That’s a fair point, but is Rendon a good comp if Devers cannot stick at third?
-
In the 4 years prior to signing his deal, Rendon had 30 Defensive Runs Saved. In the past 4 years, Devers has -39 Defensive Runs Saved. If I’m negotiating against Devers’ agent, I would remind him those two players are not as equal as the offensive half of the game indicates…
-
That his salary was less on 2021 and 2022 plus acquiring him allowed Milwaukee to dump Bradley? Renfroe made sense in 2022 for the Brewers at his salary. He’s no longer as cheap. Other more important players (namely Corban Burnes and Brandon Woodruff) will command raises in arbitration, and Garrett Mitchell has been deemed MLB-ready with Sal Frelick not far behind. Make sense now?
-
Using 28yo Matt Olson isn’t much better…
-
Considering he played for Tampa in 2020, I’m going to say yes…
-
Devers is 26. Most players have their best years from 27-32. He could easily improve…
-
His numbers should get a slight boost without the shift, too…
-
If both Boston and Houston agreed with the BTV model that this deal needs more to be equal, the Astros will fill that gap with minor leaguers and not from their bullpen. And Bloom would very likely agree, assuming he liked the prospects…
-
The only thing “wrong” with Renfroe is his projected salary in arbitration doesn’t fit the budget of a small market team that has multiple MLB-ready prospects that play his position…
-
Trade Yelich to who? The guy has back issues that sapped his power and the market for declining singles hitters owed $150mill over the next 6 years isn’t remarkably robust…
-
But is he worth the $300mill he reported wants?
-
Brewers missed the postseason by one game but have legitimate budget concerns. They’d prefer to pay any or all of Brandon Woodruff, Corban Burnes, and Devin Williams over Renfroe. If you are their GM, you would too. Plus they have a slew of OF prospects. If this trade was all about selling high on Renfroe, the Brewers wouldn’t be trying to catch lightning in a bottle; they’d be able to trade him for good prospects…
-
Renfroe moves on to the Angels. This will make 5 teams in 5 years for him…
-
Just because BTV accepts didn’ doesn’t mean Houston does. I can see them dealing from depth, but not depleting it too much…
-
I doubt Houston does that, despite it working on BTV. But even a straight up 1 for 1 deal is fine. Especially since Urquidy has 3 years of control left…
-
So did the MLBTR article on Houston needing LHH outfielders inspire some discussion on Verdugo-for-Urquidy trades? IMO, I make that deal immediately with no regrets. And I like Verdugo…
-
To be clear, it didn’t look like Dusty was singling out Contreras Reading between the lines, Baker didn’t want a pending free agent that wanted playing time to enhance his future payday. And Dusty didn’t want to fix something that wasn’t broken. Apparently he felt Vazquez would be more amenable to a backup role He was probably right, too…
-
Dombrowski is being given a chance to improve. Click can only do worse next year and was pre-emotively fired before doing so…
-
Sox go up $25mill. Devers comes down the same. Then slap a signature on it and carve up that Cookie Puss!!
-
Somewhere off in the distance, Ronaldo Hernandez’ ears are burning…
-
I’m not sure if the Sox are considering Correa, but I don’t think they’re considering Bogaerts all that seriously…
-
I think the “under 30 starter” will be Whitlock. I’m ok with that s long as they Sox add a couple quality arms to the bullpen. I’m still on Fulmer. I think Estevez would be a good get too
-
I always thought the fear with being Tampa North had more to do with budgets and baseball. Apparently there are also fears we replicate their stadium. Maybe a name change too. Like maybe we can be the Boston Famous Original Rays. Or is that moniker more fitting for a New York team?
-
I think only Uehara and Napoli had any staying power. Although Dempster had the decency to retire and not be an albatross…
