2021, one of only 2 years (and counting) that did not occur PRIOR TO 2021…
-
But do we know what Devers is asking for, including years?
-
I really doubt this is the only bullpen move, even if they decide to keep Whitlock in the bullpen full time…
-
He was traded to upgrade defense. Some theories involve including Seiya Suzuki in that defense…
-
His CF numbers were too small to draw from, but he really lacked the range…
-
You do realize in the original post you said prior to 2021. Right? “Siri, what team did Hunter Renfroe play got in /021?” “No, Siri, the other Hunter Renfroe!”
-
He really struggled with RF at Fenway. But he could cover up quite a few defensive shortcomings with that arm. His lack of versatility didn’t help much either. Cora had to use him in CF a few times (not Renfroe’s fault) and it really wasn’t good…
-
Not to mention, who cares if anyone said it? Not like Bloom reads web forums for his player valuations…
-
Sarcasm aside, Milwaukee still unloaded him for the exact reasons I stated. And actually, so did Tampa..
-
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…
